3D model of 128 m Shukhov tower on the north bank of Oka river (near Nizhny Novgorod, a large city about 400 km east from Moscow).

It is another project of Vladimir Shukhov similar to Shabolovka radio and TV tower. In 1927-1929 Shukhov built six poles for 110 kV power transmission line on Oka river. Two pairs of 128 m poles were built on the north (low) bank of the river and one pair of 69 m poles were built on the south (high) bank. Power transmission line was dismantled in 1970s. Only one pole remains safe to our time. It is an architecture monument.
