Lonely Planet review

A short distance west of the Borodino Panorama, Victory Park is a huge memorial complex celebrating the Great Patriotic War. The park includes endless fountains and monuments, the Memorial Synagogue at Poklonnaya Hill and the memorial Church of St George. The dominant monument is a 142m obelisk (each 10cm represents each day of the war).

The Museum of the Great Patriotic War, located within the park, has a diorama of every major WWII battle. Exhibits highlight the many Heroes of the Soviet Union, as well as show weapons, photographs, documentary films, letters and many other authentic wartime memorabilia.
