Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
To the east of the square of Victory Park, you can see the Arc de Triomphe in Moscow, which is comparable to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France. Because it was built to commemorate the same war: France was to commemorate Napoleon's occupation of Moscow in 1812; Russia was to commemorate the Russian army's victory over the French army in 1812. Only 30,000 of the 600,000 troops led by Napoleon returned to Paris. The Arc de Triomphe is 28 meters high. Between the gateposts, there are four Russian soldiers in armor, with shield guns in their hands, and the words "Expel France, Liberate Moscow" are engraved on their fingers. To the left of the Arc de Triomphe stands a blue cylindrical building. This is the Panorama Museum of the Battle of Borodino. The panorama means that there are complete panoramic murals painted on the circular inner wall of the museum, with real objects placed nearby, and the characters in the paintings are life-size. The whole picture is 115 meters long and 15 meters high, which vividly reproduces the fierce battle between the Russian army and the French army in the village of Borodino, 110 kilometers west of Moscow, on September 7, 1812. There are 400 marshals and generals and more than 3,000 soldiers on the screen. The battle scene is vivid and realistic. The battle is described in detail in War and Peace. On the east side of the museum, there is also a statue of Marshal Kutuzov riding a horse.

The Arc de Triomphe is a very large building complex, the Arc de Triomphe design is also very interesting, here to feel the Russian design customs, the Arc de Triomphe is also a place symbolizing victory and honor, many cities in Europe are very fond of this style
Travel to Russia, in Russia can see the Arc de Triomphe everywhere, the tour bus often pass by, because there is no arrangement to get off the Arc de Triomphe in the itinerary, so you can only grab a few photos when the car passes by. The Arc de Triomphe was originally created by the ancient Romans and was a kind of monumental building built to celebrate the victory of the war, usually a separate building that straddles a road. The Arc de Triomphe is 28 meters high, and the warriors holding shields and spears stand between the columns, and the walls above the warriors are reliefs reflecting the battles of the Russian and French forces.
The Arc de Triomphe, as its name suggests, is a triumphal gate for troops who are out to fight. It is the world's largest arch, located on the roundabout in the center of Charles de Gaulle in central Paris. This square is also built with the Lion Arc de Triomphe, because the Arc de Triomphe was built after the completion of the Arc de Triomphe, which caused inconvenience to traffic. So in the mid-19th century, a circular square and 12 roads were built around the Arc de Triomphe for a week, each road was 40~80 meters wide and radiant. Like the star glow, this square is called the Star Square. The Arc de Triomphe is also called the Star Gate. It is located at the end of the famous Champs Elysees.
You can take the subway to go, the Arc de Triomphe subway station is the deepest subway station in Moscow 100 meters deep, just take the escalator for a long time, it should be the deepest subway station outside North Korea, the subway station is full of various artworks.
I always thought that only Paris has the Arc de Triomphe, and later found that Pyongyang has a Arc de Triomphe ten meters higher than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. I came to Moscow to find that there are also here, and in terms of shape, it should not lose Paris.
The Arc de Triomphe in Moscow was built to commemorate the defeat of the French invasion by the Russian army led by General Kutuzov in 1812. The Arc de Triomphe in Moscow is similar to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but is slightly smaller. Interestingly, both Arc de Triomphes were built to commemorate the same war, both in artistic terms and in the sense of commemoration. Although they are different styles, they are also art treasures.
