On the fronts of the Second World War and in partisan units in the fight against German-Nazi invaders, 944 villagers took part, 513 of them died. In 1968, a brick, lined with marble, was erected in honor of the fallen soldiers-compatriots slabs in the form of an unfurled ceiling flag. In the upper part there is a bas-relief image of the Order of the Patriotic War, along it - a relief inscription. On the left side of the stele - a reinforced concrete sculptural group of a mother with a student son on a granite pedestal and 12 memorial marble slabs embedded near the foot of the stele, with the names of the dead. Restoration was carried out in 1985.
