At the place of the biggest mass burial of Holodomor victims, the inhabitants of the village put the stone. In 1993, the head of the village council Lavryk Vasyl Andriiovych raised the question of the installation of memorial sign. Its project was created by local inhabitant Osadchyi Vasyl Hnatovych. In 1994, the peasants heaped up the mound and made the Memorial cross. On the memorial day of Popivka village, the monument was opened solemnly.
