Dubrovka, Kaluga region.

In October 1941, the village was occupied by fascist troops. Dubrovka was occupied for about two years and was occupied several times alternately by Soviet and German troops. Together with Rechitsa, She was released on July 21, 1943. The 11th guards and 50th armies under the command of I. V. Boldin and I. H. Bagramyan participated in the liberation.

According to eyewitnesses, in the village of Dubrovka, in 1942, the Nazis shot many captured Soviet soldiers. The villagers buried them in the center of the village, thus creating a mass grave. A small, modest monument was erected on the grave. Grave graves from single and small mass graves in the localities of Kolchevka, krasnogorye, Rechitsa, and Rote Fane were moved to this grave in 1955-1956. In 1969, the burial mound was reconstructed and a new monument was installed. A full-length sculpture of a soldier is mounted on a three-stage pedestal made of brick and concrete. There is a flower garden at the foot of the grave hill. The territory of the grave is surrounded by a metal fence. In total, 805 soldiers are buried in the grave.
