Introduction

The purpose of the Moscow Triumphal Arch is to commemorate Russia's victory over Napoleon's army in the Patriotic War of 1812. It is meant to serve as a contrast to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, with a certain degree of irony. The Arc de Triomphe in Paris was built to celebrate Napoleon's victory over the Russo-Austrian coalition army in the Battle of Austerlitz in 1805.
