The Usakina Memorial is located in the famous partisan forests, which occupy most of the Kličaŭ District.

The Usakina Memorial Complex is located 400 meters east of the Usakina village. The complex was built in 1985.

The memorial unites 4 monuments. The complex begins with a memorial sign in honor of the Mahilioŭ underground regional committee of the communist party. Nearby there is the memorial cemetery, which houses 18 common graves. The remains of the dead partisans buried in different places of the Usakinski forest were transported here. There are more than 400 names of the dead on the black slabs of the granite wall of Remembrance. A bronze figure of a Soviet soldier rises above the common graves.

Nearby in the wood there is a memorialized partisan camp. Here you can see partisan dugouts, a bakery, a shadoof, a kitchen. Staff dugouts, a medical unit dugout, a printing press dugout are in the center of the complex. 

140 trees are planted at the second kilometer from Usakina on both sides of the road leading to the monument "Split House". They symbolize the continuation of the life of 140 residents of the Viazień and Sialiec villages destroyed by the Nazis. In August 1942, civilians in these villages were shot by executioners from the Dirlewanger Battalion. The remains of the civilians are buried in a common grave at the foot of the monument. These villages were not revived after the war.
