243 Soviet soldiers who died on August 10, 1943 during the liberation of the village from German-Nazi invaders and soldiers who died of wounds between August 11 and September 4, 1943 were buried. The village was liberated on August 10, 1943. The names of all the buried are known. In 1947, the remains of the dead from different places were transferred to a mass grave. The remains of a partisan who was tortured by the Nazis in December 1941 were moved to the same grave. He was left in the occupied territory to organize the partisan movement and was arrested and executed based on the denunciation of a local traitor. In 1958, an obelisk was installed on the grave, replaced in 1966 by a reinforced concrete sculptural group of a warrior and a girl. On the front side of the brick pedestal there is a board with an inscription. On the grave there are 4 plates with an inscription and the names of the fallen soldiers. In 1966, 20 boards with dedicatory inscriptions, a bas-relief image of the orders of the Patriotic War and Victory, and the names of 541 residents of the villages of Velikiy and Malyy Bobryk who died during the Great Patriotic War were fixed on both sides of the grave.
