During the seizure of the Yahidne, the occupiers kept its entire population – 370 people, including 70 children and elderly, in the basement of a local school for a month.

Ten civilians died in Russian captivity due to the lack of ventilation and horrible living conditions.

Moreover, apart from the residential buildings, a memorial will be established next to the basement, which served as a site of tragic events during the occupation.
