The village of Sychkovo is located on the territory of the Mogilev region, in the Bobruisk region. The village is famous for its memorial complex, which was founded in 1968. It was erected in memory of the servicemen of the First Belorussian Front and the partisans of the Bobruisk region, who accomplished a military feat in 1944. They defeated the Bobruisk part of Army Group Center.
In 1967, on the site of the current complex was the Mound of Glory. The basis for the mound was capsules with earth taken from 70 mass graves located in the open spaces of Bobruisk. Above the barrow was a sculptural composition, 4 meters high, which was installed on a pedestal, the height of which reached 18 meters. The composition is crowned with six steles dedicated to the Heroes of the USSR - residents of the Bobruisk region. At the top of each of the steles are high reliefs and the names of heroes.
The year 2000 was marked by the opening of new monuments: the "Gate of Glory" on the Bobruisk-Minsk highway, as well as 13 memorial plaques in honor of the Heroes of the Soviet Union.
Another monument on the territory of the village is a monument of a wood-and-earth firing point in memory of the feat of M. Seleznev.
Today, the entrance to the Sychkovo memorial complex is crowned with a three-part arch, and combat cannons are located on the sides.
