On 5 June 1918, after units of the Red Army had suppressed the Troitskoe uprising in the Chamlykskaya cantonment, Cossacks who had taken part in the rebellion and their families were summarily cut to pieces with sables: researchers offer various estimates, including executed children, ranging from 147 to 940 victims. Those who died were buried in a common grave near the village graveyard.
In 1996 a wooden memorial cross was placed over the burial site. In June 2009, it was replaced by a metal cross ten metres high.
See the Book in Remembrance of the Victims of Political Repression in the Krasnodar Krai (8 volumes, 2005-2015).
