Very tall structures of unknown height

There are some facilities in Russia and other parts of former Soviet Union, which may use permanent man-made structures taller than 250 metres. As some of them are of military importance, no height data are currently available. These facilities include the following stations:

• Alpha transmitter Revda ()
• Alpha transmitter Seyda ()
• Large chimney of Karagandinskaya TÈC-3 ( )
• Chimneys of Rustavi Metallurgical Plant (2 chimneys – an estimate over 200 m high)

If one could find out the height of the mentioned structures, then put them in the upper list, if the height is greater than 250 metres.

Tall structures characteristic for former Soviet Union

There are several types of tall structures, which were either only or mainly built in former Soviet Union.

Stalinistic skyscrapers

Skyscrapers built during Stalin's last years (1947–1953) in an elaborate combination of Russian Baroque and Gothic styles ( see Seven Sisters (Moscow)). Similar buildings less tall were built in several other cities in former Soviet Union.

Building	City	Height		Year of built
Moscow State University	Moscow	787 ft	240 m	1953
Hotel Ukraine	Moscow	650 ft	198 m	1955
Building on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment	Moscow	577 ft	176 m	1952
Ministry of Foreign Affairs	Moscow	564 ft	172 m	1953
Kudrinskaya Square	Moscow	525 ft	160 m	1954
Hotel Leningradskaya	Moscow	446 ft	136 m	1953
Red Gate Square	Moscow	436 ft	133 m	1953

Guyed Masts with crossbars

Between 1960 and 1965 in several cities in Russia and Ukraine guyed masts with crossbars running from the mastbody to the guys were built. All these masts, which are known as 30107 KM, are exclusively used for UHF-/VHF-transmission ( mainly FM-/TV-transmission) and have a closed tubular mast body.

City	Country	Year built	Height		Number of crossbar levels	Number of crossbars	Coordinates
Vinnytsia	Ukraine	1961	1161 ft	354 m	2	3
Оrenburg	Russia	1961	656 ft	200 m	2	3

Hyperbolic towers built by Shukhov

Vladimir Shukhov built between 1900 and 1930 several hyperbolic lattice towers for different uses at several places.

Tower	City	Height		Year of built
Shukhov Tower	Moscow	525 ft	160 m	1922
Dzerzhinsk High-Voltage Mast	Dzerzhinsk	420 ft	128 m	1929

Other

In nearly all larger towns in the former Soviet Union, there is a lattice tower of type 3803 KM
