Myrhorod City Council

With the outbreak of the war, the Poltava regional committee of the Communist Party began to create underground groups in the districts of the region - partisan units that were supposed to act against the Nazis in the occupied territories. In Velyki Sorochyntsi, the Peremoha partisan unit was created from volunteers who came from Myrhorod. Hryhorii Ivashchenko, the secretary of the Myrhorod district party committee, was appointed commander. Olha Antonivna Bondarenko, a village activist and chairwoman of the village council of Velyki Sorochyntsi, was assigned to this detachment with the responsibility of conducting underground work in the village and maintaining contact with the partisan unit. A simple peasant woman, she learned to read and write after the revolution, became an activist in the collective farm movement, a field worker, then a collective farm head, and before the war began, she was appointed head of the village council. As a member of a partisan unit operating in the Myrhorod and Hadiach districts, she was a reliable liaison and food supplier to the partisans. The monument of monumental art
