79 Soviet soldiers were buried. Died at the beginning of September 1941 in defensive battles for the village, when the village was in the war zone, and on September 3, 1943, during the liberation of the village from the Nazi invaders.

In 1958, the remains of the dead from different places were transferred to a mass grave, on which a reinforced concrete sculpture of a warrior was installed in the same year.
