On April 23, 1949, in the Živulciškės Forest, at the junction of Alytus and Lazdijai districts, the MGB organized an operation based on reports from agents “Eglė” and “Silno.” The information indicated that the headquarters of the Šarūnas battalion and partisans from the Juozapavičius group might be present there. The operation was led by Major Aleksejevas, head of the MGB Lazdijai department, along with Major Lebedevas, deputy head of the 2-N department, in collaboration with the leaders of Alytus and Varėna districts. During the battle, fighters from the A. Juozapavičius battalion of the Dainava district's Šarūnas battalion were killed: squad leader Juozas Klibaras-Gervė, Juozas Kasiulionis-Kranklys, Bolius Liesionis-Jazminas, and Juozas Stravinskas-Sukilėlis. In memory of the partisans, Bronius Kašelionis from Krikštoniai village erected a monument created by blacksmith Juozas Varnelis from Veisiejai.
