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, obviously no height data are available of them, but as similar facilities in other countries have such tall structures it is very presumeale that they have. These facilities are among other:
  • Alpha transmitter Novosibirsk: (55°45′22"N 84°26′52.4"E)
  • Alpha transmitter Krasnodar (45°24′18"N 38°09′29"E)
  • Alpha transmitter Khabarovsk (50°04′24"N 136°36′24"E)
  • Alpha transmitter Revda (68°02′8"N 34°41′00"E)
  • Alpha transmitter Seyda (39°28′16"N 62°43′07"E)
  • Smetanichi TV Mast (52°13′26"N 28°30′47"E)
  • Chimneys of Rustavi Metallurgical Plant (2 chimneys – an estimate over 200 m high)
  • Chimney of Tbilisi Power Plant
  • Masts of Sosnovy transmitter, Sosnovy Bor, Belarus


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)
