On August 26, 1942, the German police loaded 95 Jewish children onto 13 trucks and drove them to the collective farm “Bolshevik” in the direction to Kislovodsk. They took them to a destroyed mud hut [or "dugout"], took away the possessions they had with them, and shot them to death in a pit there. After the liberation of the village, the Soviet authorities discovered that of the victims 25 children were not above the age of one year and that 70 were not above the age of ten.
