Братская могила

The memorial in Ukolica is a concrete war monument featuring a sculptural group about 2 meters tall. It depicts a male and female soldier placing a wreath with a flag, topped by a five-pointed star that serves as a focal point for the site.

The monument marks the burial site of Soviet Army soldiers who died between 1941 and 1943 during major military operations in the region. The grave contains the remains of around 1,700 soldiers who fell during the intense fighting for control of the area.

The memorial serves as a gathering point where the local community comes together to remember those lost during the war. Its presence shapes how residents and visitors think about the sacrifices made by soldiers from their region.

The site is located roughly 100 meters from the village church, making it easy to find and visit. The memorial receives regular care and maintenance from local students and teachers who help keep the grounds in good condition.

About 450 of the soldiers buried here remain unidentified, even though researchers continue searching for their names. This ongoing effort shows how important it is to keep the stories of these fallen soldiers alive.
