Poklonnaya Hill
Poklonnaya Gora ((ロシア語:Покло́нная гора́), literally "bow-down hill"; metaphorically "Worshipful Submission Hill"') is, at 171.5 metres, one of the highest spots in Moscow. Its two summits used to be separated by the Setun River, until one of the summits was razed in 1987. Since 1936, the area has been part of Moscow and now contains the Victory Park with many tanks and other vehicles used in the Second World War on display.
Historically, the hill had great strategic importance, as it commanded the best view of the Russian capital. Its name is derived from the Russian for "to bow down", as everyone approaching the capital from the west was expected to do homage here. In 1812, it was the spot where Napoleon in vain expected the keys to the Kremlin to be brought to him by Russians.
== Origin of name ==
Here, in the period of the Golden Horde Russian knyaz met with nods of his suzerain. In the Middle Ages, on an elevated site with bows met Khagan and Khan's ambassadors. In connection with what occurred and the name itself, "bow-down hill", as it was necessary to bow to express humility.
