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 / 55.75611°N 84.447889°E / 55.75611; 84.447889)
- Alpha transmitter Krasnodar (45°24′18″N 38°09′29″E / 45.405°N 38.15806°E / 45.405; 38.15806)
- Alpha transmitter Khabarovsk (50°04′24″N 136°36′24″E / 50.07333°N 136.60667°E / 50.07333; 136.60667)
- Alpha transmitter Revda (68°02′8″N 34°41′00″E / 68.03556°N 34.6833333°E / 68.03556; 34.6833333)
- Alpha transmitter Seyda (39°28′16″N 62°43′07″E / 39.47111°N 62.71861°E / 39.47111; 62.71861)
- Smetanichi TV Mast (52°13′26″N 28°30′47″E / 52.22389°N 28.51306°E / 52.22389; 28.51306)
- 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.

Between our statures; she hath urged her height,
And with her personage, her tall personage,
Her height, forsooth, she hath prevailed with him.”

“Out of the earth to rest or range
Perpetual in perpetual change,
The unknown passing through the strange.”
