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:

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.

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.

Hyperbolic towers built by Shukhov

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

Dzerzhinsk High-Voltage Mast Dzerzhinsk420 ft128 m1929

Other

In nearly all larger towns in the former Soviet Union, there is a characteristic lattice tower of type 3803 KM, which is used for FM- and TV-broadcasting.

Some thermal power stations in the area of the former Soviet Union have at least one chimney, which is also used as electricity pylon. Although such objects were also realized in areas outside the former Soviet Union, nearly all structures of this type exist in countries, which were part of the former Soviet Union (see list at Chimney#Chimneys_used_as_electricity_pylon).

The KVLY-TV mast is a television-transmitting mast in Blanchard, North Dakota. It is used by Fargo station KVLY-TV and KXJB-LD's Argusville/Valley City/Mayville translator K28MA-D, along with KNGF. Completed in 1963, it was once the tallest structure in the world, and stood at 2,063 feet until 2019, when the top mount VHF antenna was removed for the FCC spectrum repack, dropping the height to 1,987 feet (605.6 m).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Transmission tower</span> Structure used to support an overhead power line

A transmission tower is a tall structure, usually a lattice tower made of steel that is used to support an overhead power line. In electrical grids, transmission towers carry high-voltage transmission lines that transport bulk electric power from generating stations to electrical substations, from which electricity is delivered to end consumers; moreover, utility poles are used to support lower-voltage sub-transmission and distribution lines that transport electricity from substations to electricity customers.

Sender Zehlendorf or Zehlendorf (radio) transmission facility was a radio transmission facility which was in service since 1936, when a short wave transmitter was built on the occasion of the Berlin 1936 Summer Olympics in Zehlendorf as part of the establishment of permanent radio services. This Zehlendorf site, which until the end of World War II was referred to as the Rehmate Radio Transmission Centre, had 26 different antennas at the time.

The Deutschlandsender III was a 500 kilowatt longwave transmitter, erected in 1938/39 near Herzberg, Brandenburg in Germany. Used for the Deutschlandsender radio broadcasts, the guyed mast reaching a height of 337 metres was the tallest construction in Europe and the second tallest in the world.

Radio masts and towers are typically tall structures designed to support antennas for telecommunications and broadcasting, including television. There are two main types: guyed and self-supporting structures. They are among the tallest human-made structures. Masts are often named after the broadcasting organizations that originally built them or currently use them.

The Russian 460 metres radio masts are among the most secret supertall structures ever built. Three such masts, which were developed by Stako, were erected in mid-1980s near Inta, Dudinka and Taymylyr as masts for the North Siberian Chayka Chain for transmitting navigation signals on 100 kHz with 1200 kW.
