86 soldiers who died during the liberation of the village from the Nazi invaders on September 3, 1943 and died of wounds are buried here. The names of 67 victims are known. In 1957, the remains of those buried from different places were transferred to a mass grave. To the left of the mass grave at a distance of 5.0 m is the grave of the Kovpak partisan Yehor Oleksiyovych (1910 - 42) - the company commander of the S. Kovpak partisan unit, who died in an unequal battle with the Nazis in 1942 in the area of Korop, Chernihiv region . In 1975, the remains of E. Boyk were moved from near the city of Koropa to the village of Klyshki In the same year, a concrete monument was installed on the grave - a truncated pyramid, on which a metal board with a dedication is fixed. In 1957, a concrete sculpture of a warrior was installed on the mass grave. On the concrete tombstone there is a memorial inscription and the names of 30 fallen soldiers. In 1974, a brick-cemented stele was installed behind the warrior's sculpture, on which 16 cast-iron boards with an inscription and the names of 584 compatriots who died during the Second World War were fixed. To the left on the ceiling is a carved image of the head of a grieving woman and a memorial inscription. At the top of the stele is a text.
