The Victory park 12+

 

Short description: The Great Patriotic War is a special page in our history. The Victory Park on Poklonnaya Hill, where each monument is a symbol and is dedicated to the memory of the fallen soldiers, helps us to remember the main thing – at what price a great victory was won.

Full description:

The Poklonnaya Hill is a part of the old road to the west. In the distant year 1812 Napoleon stayed here entering Moscow, and in 1941 soldiers who went to the frontline passed by. 25 years a memorial park was opened here with the highest monument in Russia, the Victory Monument, dedicated to the memory of those who died in the most terrible war in human history.

Everything in the park is a symbol – 5 terrace-steps leading to the Victory Museum mean 5 years of war. While climbing the terraces we see 225 fountains, by the number of weeks of the war, and 15 columns, by the number of fronts and units of the Soviet army, which participated in the Great Patriotic War.

Behind the museum in the depths of the park there are rays-alleys, walking along which we remember the fallen soldiers who contributed to the Great Victory. Eternal glory to the heroes!
