Dziesiatniki - is a small village of Valozhyn district, Minsk region of Belarus. In the village of Dziesiatniki one of the largest military graves of the First World War on the territory of modern Belarus is located. The fact is that near the village during the First World War, the front line was permanently established and long-term positional battles were fought. The most active military operations in these places date back to 1916. At the same time, the main burials were made. More than 800 German, Austrian and Russian soldiers rest in a military cemetery in the village of Dziesiatniki next to each other. The fact that the representatives of the warring parties are buried in a common cemetery is due to the fact that during the First World War there were sanitary brigades in the armies that collected the bodies of all the killed soldiers from the battlefield and buried them nearby. At the same time, all the data, documents and tokens that belonged to the enemy's soldiers were transferred to the enemy side. Moreover, it is possible even then, and even more so now, all soldiers and other people who died during the First World War are considered equal victims and hostages to the imperialist ambitions of the warring sides. Therefore, here in the village Dziesiatniki, as well as in other German cemeteries, there are memorial plates with the inscription "Here soldiers who are victims of the First World War are buried".

So, the military cemetery in the village of Dziesiatniki was created by the German side in 1916. At the same time, the central architectural element of the cemetery was erected - a monumental rotunda crowned with an eagle, spreading its wings. By the way, the plate installed on this monument nowadays says that this monument is a chapel. Then, in 1922, when the village of Dziesiatniki was part of Poland, the territory was completely landscaped with German money and a fence was erected. The military cemetery in the village of Dziesiatniki is located at the entrance to this village on a natural hill. Nearby there is a river, picturesquely bending in this place. Already in our time, with the financial support of the German side, in the military cemetery in the village of Dziesiatniki, work was again carried out to improve the territory and restore order. Therefore, in our days burial is still in proper condition. A neat lawn, stately pines, smooth rows of graves, a beautiful stone fence, repeating the relief of the hill, and a monumental chapel - all this makes a strong impression on visitors. The military cemetery in the village of Dziesiatniki is something like a small park. This is a very interesting place for fans of history and tourism in Belarus.
