Preparatory work to collect information about the soldiers who died during the Great Patriotic War, who lived on the territory of the Pervomaisky Village Council, began in October – November 1967. Taking into account the prescription of recent events, the lack of complete information about the dead in the military enlistment office, the executive committee of the Pervomaisky Village Council, the party committee, the administration of the state farm, the pedagogical collective of the school for accurate and objective accounting of all the dead and entering their surnames on marble slabs, followed the ways of collecting data on the dead at brigade meetings of settlements.

On May 9, 1968, at 12 o'clock in the afternoon, at the confluence of a large number of the population, the grand opening of the obelisk in honor of the fallen soldiers of the villagers in the Great Patriotic War took place.

The rally dedicated to the opening of the obelisk was radioed. An eternal flame was lit at the base of the obelisk. An orchestra was brought from the Goretsky BSHA, which performed funeral marches. At the request of the district executive committee, the military unit allocated a squad of submachine gunners with combat weapons.
