All of them were members of the Komsomol and from the first days of the war organized a fierce resistance to the invaders. The young men posted leaflets, hid weapons in the woods, and passed important information to the partisans. After their arrest they did not give up their comrades-in-arms and were killed. Now there is a monument built at the place of the execution, which has become a landmark for every resident of Skidel.
Vasil Kazak, chairman of the veteran organization of the Skidel City Executive Committee:
"None of them asked for mercy, they walked with their heads held high. Only many of them said: "Long live the Red Army!" and "Death to the fascists!" People covered their children. In general, that's how the execution was carried out. "
