In the early 1940s Kargovino was one of the areas of special settlement to which Poles were deported. The Poles who died there were buried in the village graveyard. [Those deported on 9-10 February 1940 were the first to arrive here, Dembowska, 2011.]
In 1996 a metal commemorative cross was erected in the graveyard. The attached board bears the inscription: “600 deported Poles lived and worked in Kargovino between 1940 and 1944. Many of them died and were buried here; may they rest in peace. Сześć ich pamięci /we honour their memory. This cross was placed here by Boleslaw and Wanda Danko, 1996”.
There are reports that there was a Polish graveyard in Kargovino, but it has not survived.
