There is Eiffel tower in Paris, probably the most famous tower in the world. But for most of people living in Soviet Union there was another tower that they knew even better than Eiffel’s one. It was a Moscow city Ostankino Tower.

Standing 1772 feet (540 metres) tall, it was the tallest free-standing structure in the whole world until in 2003 there was build another one, taller, in Canada. Still it is the tallest alone standing structure in Europe and Asia.

Burj Dubai has them both beat, even in the free stranding category. Although that New Russia tower looks impressive, looks like it needs a top/cone though

They should put a TV mast on the Russia Tower to make it just taller than the Chicago one. Amirite?

There's no tower in that picture.

Umm, the CN Tower beat it in 1975... not in 2003

And your english while your at it.

Also no one with half a brain will actually care. Shouldnt Russia be spending their money on something else, like fixing the alcoholism epidemic? The high poverty rates? The corruption? I see no purpose in the this sans heylookatuswehaveabigtowersowearebetterthanyou.
