This monument to the destruction of Napoleons forces in 1812 is under scaffolding and sheets whilst it is renovated in readiness to celebrate 200 years of the battles at Boradino where he was effectively defeated even though he won the battle

It was devoted to the Victory in 1812 over Napoleon's army and situated on Tverskaya Square, but in 1930's was disassembled and rebuild only in 1960's on this new place.

Once it was situated in downtown, now the gates are a bit closer to Europe to remind europeans about Russian victory over Napoleon

“Berlin, Paris, Marble Arch no its Moscow”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Its clearly Napoleonic in part of the design. Sitting on a central island with 5 lanes of traffic speeding past on either side has taken its toll as in 2012 it will be taken apart, re-enforced and rebuilt so it may be out of commission for a while. Go now
