Ostankino TV tower
Ostankino TV tower is not just a visiting card of the capital, it is a monument to the grandeur of the Soviet era and at the same time a glance at the future of Russian television. Since its inception, the television tower in Ostankino has become one of the symbols of Moscow. There are two observation platforms on it: open and closed, where from May to October excursions are organized for residents and guests of the capital. The panorama of day and evening Moscow from a bird's-eye view is truly an impressive sight, and it will again become available after the completion of the repair work
The birthday of Soviet television is December 31, 1938, and the Ostankino television and broadcasting tower has a history of almost half a century. It was built in 1967 by a team of Soviet engineers and architects: NV Nikitin, BA Zlobin, LI Batalov, and others.
For that time it was the tallest building in the world (540 meters). Even now, the tower occupies the sixth place in height among the free-standing structures of the planet.
