A monument commemorating the brave defenders, ordinary people, of Cisna and the surrounding area against the UPA 1944–1947. Initially, he was called "Fallen in the fight to consolidate people's power" (pol. "Poległym w walce o utrwalenie władzy ludowej"). In order to avoid dismantling the monument as part of the decommunization act, it was decided to change its name.
