The Leningrad youth group of the AUCPB (bikers) honored the Memory of those killed in the struggle for Soviet power - the Monuments of the Civil War in the territory of the Kuyvozovo volost (Lembolovo Leningrad Region).
The tragic events of 1919 remind us of monuments on the territory of the Kuyvozovo parish: the grave of Red Army men. October 25, 1969 at the 31 km Priozersk highway was a monument. It has an inscription on it:
"Those who fallen in the struggle for Soviet power in 1919:
Karataev A.I. - Communist, teacher of the local school;
Karataeva O.N. - teacher;
Koenen Matvey - an employee of the district soviet;
Kettinen Elizabeth - local activist;
Suutarinen Stepan - Chairman of the Village Soviet;
His daughters, Ida and Nina, local activists;
Pavel Hakkanen - Communist;
Tsvetkov Ivan - village soviet worker and other local residents.”
In 1919, White Finnish detachments often crossed the border. They shot the locals: the Bolsheviks, sympathizers. Karatayev teachers are among those buried in this mass grave. Olga Karataeva taught in the village of Korkeomyaki in an elementary school. Her husband, A.I. Karatayev taught older children in Maly Kaydalove; the school was in a former landlord's house. Their eight-year-old daughter and four-year-old son were growing up. At night, the Whitefin burst into the house and shot the teachers. The children were left alive, however, it is obvious that the gorgeous long braid was cut off with a knife to scare the girl. The Karatayev children were raised by relatives. A girl at the age of 12 died of tuberculosis, and the son of the Karatayevs lived in Leningrad until the 80s.
According to the stories of the old-timers, the girls Ida and Nina, the daughter of the chairman of the village soviet Suutarinen, sneaked behind their father to be shot, were spotted by the punishers, captured and also shot. Heroes border guards who died in 1919-1922 are also buried here.
