2014/12/05


Russian blogger Dmitry Rogachev is lucky to live near the famous Ostankino tower in Moscow, however he took a chance to come there just recently. Dmitry visited all the levels of the tower – 86, 337, 340 and 360 meters, and has been on that very glass floor.

Petals of the giant lily turned upside down look very big from here.



There are ten of them.



Visitors wait for searching under this roof.

Inside it becomes more interesting – we can see a small exhibition of pictures of beautiful views.



The Ostankino TV Tower was built in 1967 under the project of a Soviet scientist and builder Nikolay Nikitin.



The first mark is 86 m.



The tower from inside.



Tower foundation is made from prestressed ferroconcrete and metal cables, each cable adds a load of 50 tons. For the period of the construction (1963-67) it was the innovative technology for the world highest tower.

See the mark? 87m…



Elements of the past.




The foundation was rather small which was another innavative technology. The tower practically stands on the ground.
