Poklonnaya Hill, Military memorial hill in western Moscow, Russia

The hill extends across 135 hectares between Kutuzovsky Avenue and Minskaya Street, featuring tanks and military vehicles from World War II.

The Museum of Great Patriotic War contains multiple exhibition halls, military equipment displays, and documentary materials about the Soviet military campaigns.

The central obelisk reaches 141.8 meters in height, with each meter representing one day of the Soviet Union's involvement in World War II.
