Парк Победы на Поклонной горе — один из крупнейших в России и в мире [источник не указан 972 дня] мемориальных комплексов, площадь которого 135 га, посвящён победе в Великой Отечественной войне. Расположен в Западном административном округе Москвы. Был открыт 9 мая 1995 года к 50-летию Великой Победы.
Poklonnaya Gora (Russian: Покло́нная гора́, literally "bow-down hill"; metaphorically "Worshipful Submission Hill"') was, at 171.5 meters, one of the highest spots in Moscow. Its two summits used to be separated by the Setun River, until one of the summits was razed in 1987. Since 1936, the area has been part of Moscow and now contains the Victory Park with many tanks and other vehicles used in the Second World War on display.
Historically, the hill had great strategic importance, as it commanded the best view of the Russian capital. Its name is derived from the Russian for "to bow down", as everyone approaching the capital from the west was expected to do homage here. During the French invasion of Russia in 1812, it was the spot where Napoleon in vain expected the keys to the Kremlin to be brought to him by Russians. ( Wikipedia )
