Common grave of Russian soldiers, Military memorial grave in Yakovtsy, Ukraine.
The Common grave of Russian soldiers in Yakovtsy is a burial site topped by a granite cross monument built on a raised mound. The location holds remains from the early 18th century and displays inscriptions on its eastern side marking those commemorated.
This memorial was established following a major military conflict in the early 18th century that deeply affected the region. The site was later expanded with additional structures to reinforce its commemorative purpose.
The memorial includes a small chapel dedicated to St. Peter and Paul, built during renovations in 1907 to strengthen the foundation.
The site can be visited on foot and is accessible from the outside. The inscriptions on the eastern side allow visitors to explore the information at their own pace.
Local residents often call this place by a different name than its official designation, showing how memorial sites can be anchored differently in community memory. This naming variation reflects how historical places become linked to multiple perspectives over time.
