On 28.06.1866 or 12.07.1866 (different dates are given, probably due to the use of different calendars) in the vicinity of Miskhycha, on the river Bystra, the decisive battle of the Zabaikal uprising took place, i.e. the independence uprising, which was fought by the participants of the January Uprising who were exiled to this area. The insurgents, led by Gustav Sharamovich, succumbed to the overwhelming force of the Cossack battalions sent to suppress the "rebellion", losing several dozen dead and wounded. The Polish cavalry, commanded by Narcyz Celiński, did not take part in the battle, as its commander considered such a clash pointless and withdrew his entire subordinate unit from the battlefield. Later that year, in the place where the insurgents fell, a wooden cross with an inscription in Russian was placed over a heap of stones: "Here are buried the rebellious Polish insurgents, killed during the shooting on 28 June 1866". This grave was cared for until the end of the 19th century by one of the Polish exiles residing in Misha. After his death, the cross was destroyed and the stones from the grave were scattered. In 1966, on the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the uprising, members of the Komsomol youth commemorated the place where the Poles died. In 1972, the monument they built was entered in the register of monuments in the USSR as a "monument to the revolutionary movement of the exiles in Siberia". However, by the 1990s it had deteriorated. In 1995, the chairman of the Polish Cultural Society "Hope" in Buryatia - Waclaw Sokolowski, together with M.I. Dimitrov, led to the reconstruction of the monument. The Council for the Protection of Remembrance of Struggle and Martyrdom joined in this task, developing a project for the commemoration and financing its construction. The new memorial was unveiled on 13.10.2001. It is a tall cross, perched on a small stone mound. At the foot of the cross is a plaque with an inscription in Polish and Russian. The inscription reads: "To the memory of the Polish exiles - participants in the uprising on the Krugobaykalsk Route who died in battle with the servicemen of Tsarist Russia on 12 July 1866. Sleep well - we remember you".
