The repair and maintenance of military graves and war victims' graves is one of the activities aimed at perpetuating the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland in the Lepel district.
In 2026, the reconstruction of the military cemetery located on the territory of the former hospital is planned.
A commission, headed by the Chairman of the Lepel District Executive Committee, Mikhail Kiselevich, discussed on-site the scope of work to be carried out.
It should be noted that as of today, there are 61 military graves and war victims' graves under state registration in the Lepel district.
The military cemetery on the territory of the former hospital is a significant place that preserves the memory of those who perished defending our region from the fascists.
The remains of 229 servicemen and resistance fighters from the Great Patriotic War era are buried in the cemetery. According to archival data, 90 names have been identified, while 139 are unidentified.
In 1965, a monument, a sculpture of a soldier, was erected on the mass grave.
