Common grave of Russian soldiers, Military memorial grave in Yakovtsy, Ukraine.
The granite cross monument and burial mound contain the remains of 1,345 Russian soldiers, including 45 officers and 1,293 privates and corporals.
Following the Battle of Poltava in 1709, Tsar Peter I ordered the construction of two separate burial sites for fallen Russian officers and soldiers.
The memorial includes a small chapel dedicated to St. Peter and Paul, built during renovations in 1907 to strengthen the foundation.
The memorial site features inscriptions on the eastern side honoring Brigadier Felengheim, Colonels Nechaev and Lov, among other military officers.
Despite its name commemorating Russian soldiers, local residents frequently refer to this memorial as the Swedish Grave, though no Swedish soldiers rest there.
