The monument itself is very unusual, and unique – black birch, mournfully bowed its branches. It seems that the young tree suddenly froze, so realistic it is. The black birch stands out against the green trees … According to those who saw this realistic metal copy of birch tree, even its leaves and twigs tremble in the wind. In fact, it is a monument to countrymen killed in the military and service duties in peacetime. The birch forged from metal. This colossal work performed a talented local blacksmith Igor Savelyev. Each leaf, twig or earrings are striking in their naturalness. The monument is very soulful … And it is clear that not only made with great skill, but also with a large broad mind.

Many legends are associated With the black birch. One legend says that ten Russian guys, going to war, bid farewell to the sacred birch forest with their beloved. The girls promised to wait for their return. However, from the war returned only nine guys. And there were nine fun weddings. And only one woman remained lonely for life. She dressed in black robes and mourned her beloved. When she died, her soul moved into the birch in the sacred wood, and the tree turned black.
