      • The park opened on 9 May 1995, for the 50th anniversary of Victory; it covers 135 hectares.
      • The obelisk's height of 141.8 m recalls the 1,418 days of the war.
      • At the 100-metre mark of the obelisk is a bronze Nike with angels, and at its foot St George; both sculptures are by Zurab Tsereteli.
      • In September 1812 Napoleon waited on Poklonnaya Hill for the keys to the Kremlin.
      • During the park's construction in the 1990s the main hill of Poklonnaya Hill was levelled.
      • In the 1970s–1980s 194 million roubles in public donations were collected for the memorial.
      • The Church of St George in the park was consecrated on 6 May 1995.
