The "Monument to the Mother" in Brovakhy was erected in 1984 in honor of a simple woman, Yevdokiya Lysenko, who raised 11 sons and 5 daughters. 10 sons fought on the fronts of the Second World War and all returned home alive.
On the initiative of Literary Gazeta and with the participation of the mother of the first cosmonaut Yuriy Haharin, a monument was opened, ten poplars and five willows were planted (according to the number of Yevdokiya's children), and a museum room of the Lysenko family was opened in the village school. Among other things, the museum preserved 10 pairs of boots and 10 overcoats, in which sons returned from the war, and materials dedicated to Kateryna Stepanova from Belarus, who lost all 9 of her sons during the war.
