Братская могила, War memorial in Ukolica village, Russia

The Bratskaya Mogila in Ukolitsy is a war grave built in 1956 in the village centre, 300 metres from the school. A one-metre pedestal on a 2×2 m brick foundation carries a two-metre sculpture of a male and a female soldier with a banner, laying a wreath. A five-pointed star for the eternal flame was added in 2005.

The mass grave was created in 1956 in the village centre, gathering remains from individual and small group graves in nearby settlements during a reburial campaign that ran from 1946 to 1956. The 1991 record lists 1,702 dead, while the list as of January 2013 names 1,754. The regional Memory Book holds 2,963 names, 595 of them unidentified.

The memorial is maintained by pupils and teachers of the Ukolitsa basic school under headmaster Alexei Alexandrovich Serov. A five-pointed star device installed in 2005 is lit as an eternal flame during rallies. Four women are among the buried, including Larisa Spiridonovna Agakulova and Maria Yakovlevna Poleshchuk.

The grave lies in the centre of Ukolica, next to the village cemetery and 300 metres from the secondary school. Its brick base measures 2 by 2 metres and carries a one-metre pedestal with a two-metre sculpture. A five-pointed star for the eternal flame was installed in the centre of the plot in 2005.

The 1991 record card lists 1,702 dead and no unknown burials, yet the Kaluga Memory Book names 2,963 people, 595 of them unidentified. Twenty-three names appear twice in the burial list, and two tank crewmen, S. R. Rakitsky and I. S. Rykov, are commemorated although they were killed in their KV tank.
