Memorial site

The Dviete National Partisan Company was formed in April 1945 under the leadership of former Latvian Army officer-deputy Otto Sudrabiņš. The squad consisted of four platoons, formed by residents of Dvieta, Pilskalne, Bebrene and Dunava parishes. 16/17 on the night of June 16, the partisans of the Dviete company won a battle with the representatives of the Soviet occupation authorities near Jadvigova, freeing two partisan supporters who had been taken prisoner and killing eight local militiamen and destroyers. In June, the Dvietes company was included in the 1st battalion of the Ilūkste partisan regiment commanded by the former Latvian army deputy officer Stanislavs Urbanas, under the leadership of the former legionnaire Jānis Stūriškas. The composition of the company was constantly changing, at different periods it included about 70 national partisans, among them also women.

In August 1945, the Ilūkstes partisan regiment was included in the 2nd division of the Latvian Homeland Guards (partisans) association. 27/28 on the night of September 25, a 25-man partisan unit formed from the headquarters company of the Ilūkste partisan regiment and the Dviete company cut the communication lines with Ilūkste and Bebreni, and then occupied the Dviete executive committee and the militia station, as well as blocked the destroyer Vushkan's house and requisitioned goods from a local store. The Dviete Company ceased to exist as a separate unit at the beginning of 1946, when, losing hope for help from the Western countries, a large part of the partisans of the Ilūkste Regiment legalized, however, some of them continued their resistance to the Soviet occupation until 1955.

The memorial stone for the Dvietes company of the Ilūkste partisan regiment of the Latvian Homeland Guard (partisan) association was unveiled on July 10, 2010. The project was developed by Gunārs Blūzma, a researcher of the national partisans of Selia, and the monument was carved by Jersika stonemason Imants Laizāns. The inscription reads: "1945. g. 27/28 In September, the national partisans occupied Dvieta and temporarily stopped the Soviet occupation. For You Fatherland".
