'To the soldiers of the 946th Infantry Regiment of the Red Army and the 3rd Battalion of the 15th Infantry Regiment of the Finnish Army'.
There is a monument at the crossroads of forest roads east of the railway station '69 km'. On July 15-16, units of the 142nd Rifle Division of Soviet Army advanced in this area in the direction of Käkisalmi. VT-line already had been broken by that time, so the Finns began a systematic retreat north to Suvanto-Järvi, waging local battles, setting up ambushes, mining roads and destroying bridges.
