Kapitolina Kostrykina, Klava Baranchikova, Maria Noskova, Shura Vasileva and Zina Polonchuk were captured by fascists and executed.

Despite the rain, hundreds of residents of Donetsk arrived to the unveiling ceremony, Republic officials were present. Alla Ignatievna Stepanova, who was a child prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp and survived by miracle, gave a speech at the memorial.

Today, in the days of the war against Bandera Nazism, Donbass particularly acutely feels the tie connection with the warriors who died to liberate our land from German Nazism. No one is forgotten! Nothing is forgotten!
