There is a school in the village named after Rahib Mammadov and there is a special memorial place in the school dedicated to the soldierâ€™s memory.

The villagers decided to name the baby Rahib. Now Rahib Chanturidze is working at the Kulevi oil terminal and supporting the family. I thing the young generation will also remember about the Rahib Mammadovâ€™s heroismâ€.
