History Mention
The mountain went down in history as the arena of bloody battles of the First World War . In the spring of 1915, ethnic Ukrainians fought for control over it on both sides of the front — soldiers of the Legion of Ukrainian Sich Riflemen on the Austro-Hungarian side, units consisting of Kuban conscripts and Little Russians , residents of the South-Western Territory on the side of the Russian Imperial Army [1 ] .
In the 1920s, memorial signs were installed by members of the UVO at the battlefield, which were restored at the end of the 20th century by members of Ukrainian nationalist organizations after Ukraine gained independence . In August 1999, a memorial necropolis of the Sich Riflemen who fought there was opened on the mountain, performed by the artists father and son Eugene and Yarema Bezniski and the architect Vasily Kamenshchik [1] .
