G. Fedorov, a partisan of the Velikopysarov partisan unit, who died in April 1942 and 3 tankers who died on August 8, 1943 during the liberation of the village from the German-Nazi invaders, are buried. The names of all the fallen soldiers are known. In 1944, the remains of the dead from different places were transferred to a mass grave, on which a wooden obelisk was installed in the same year. In 1964, the obelisk was replaced by a reinforced concrete sculpture of a warrior. On the front side of the brick pedestal there is a board with an inscription. There is a plaque on the grave with the names of the dead. In 1974, 9 boards were installed on both sides of the mass grave with inscriptions and the names of compatriot soldiers who died on the fronts of the Second World War.
