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 (68°02′8″N 34°41′00″E)
- Alpha transmitter Seyda (39°28′16″N 62°43′07″E)
- 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
Summarize
Perspective
There are several types of tall structures, which were either only or mainly built in the 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 the 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.

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).
