Poklonnaya, literally meaning 'bow down', lies in the west part
of Moscow and was historically a spot for Western visitors of the
city to pay homage before entering the city. Today it is a beacon
to Russia's military strength, having withstood invasions by both
Napoleon and Hitler. Atop the hill is Victory Park which provides a
scenic walk and contains a memorial Mosque and Synagogue for
victims of the war and an open air museum dedicated to the victory
over Napoleon.
