Victory Monument, War memorial on Poklonnaya Hill, Moscow, Russia
The Victory Monument reaches a height of 141.8 meters, featuring a three-sided steel obelisk topped with a bronze Nike goddess statue and two angels.
The initial plans for constructing the monument emerged in the 1940s, but construction only began in 1993 and finished in time for Victory Day in 1995.
The monument displays golden inscriptions of hero cities and contains bronze reliefs depicting major battles including Stalingrad, Kursk, and the Belarus operation.
