The Brothers' Cemetery in Madona is located on Parka Hill near Pumpuru Street. Concrete stairs lead to the cemetery from Pumpuru Street, and a path from Parka Street.

The monument was unveiled in 1947.
Several thousand fallen Soviet soldiers are buried in the mass grave. The obelisk that stood on the mound has not survived.
The Russian Federation has compiled and clarified information about the names and surnames of the soldiers who rest in these graves, and the reconstruction of the graves was completed in 2021. During the reconstruction, the names of the fallen soldiers were re-engraved on marble slabs placed on the memorial walls.

Buried: 1959 - 46; 1980 - 3941 (all known and marked); 1984 - 3979 (3943 known and marked) soldiers, 1 partisan, 2 Soviet activists. PSV: MA Ivasiks (1919 -1944).
