The quarters of Polish Army soldiers killed in the Polish-Bolshevik war

In the villages of Obukhovo, Jazno, Luzhki, Dzisna, Glubokie, Plissa and other places in Vitebsk Region, many Polish soldiers died in the battles of 1920. In the second half of the 1930s, their remains were exhumed, setting up a specially designated plot in Yazna cemetery. The corpses were moved here from, among others, the following localities: Barbarynowo, Błoszniki, Buguckie, Czastki, Królewskie, Nowe Sioło-Ugolniki, Puciacino, Razdziorka, Sokolowszczyzna, Soroczyn, Soroki I, Soroki II, Spigalszczyzna and Ugolniki. After World War II, the necropolis was neglected for many years, and in the 1970s the graves were devastated, tombstones and crosses broken. The quarter is located in the corner of the cemetery, occupies an area of approximately 11 x 17 m, and has no main commemoration. There are 38 graves in the quarter, situated in 7 rows; 2 graves are double width and there are two crosses in each. In these graves rest 38 soldiers known by name and 26 unknown. Documents give 2 more names of soldiers who were once buried here, but now their graves do not exist. They are: Karasiak and Sergiusz Szczepański. The renovation of the cemetery plot was carried out in 2018 by the Foundation Aid to Poles in the East as part of a task co-financed by the programme of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage "Sites of National Remembrance Abroad". Due to the considerable deterioration of the tombstone material, granite replicas were made.
