Paratroopers who performed special tasks behind enemy lines in the spring of 1943 are buried. Surnames of the dead soldiers are unknown. The village was liberated on August 9, 1943. The dead were buried in the cemetery, and in 1958 their remains were reburied near the school. In the same year, an obelisk was installed on the grave, replaced in 1979 by a concrete sculpture of a warrior. On the front side of the brick pedestal there is a granite board with a memorial inscription.
