Erected by the Soviets in a bit of 1960s Cold War chest-beating, the Ostankino Tower is located in which city?
Answer Moscow
The Ostankino Tower was built in the 1960s as a triumphant symbol of the Soviet Union's modernity and progress. At 540 meters (1,771 ft), it knocked the Empire State Building out of the world's tallest building spot — a glorious title it held until 1976 when Canada's CN Tower came along. Today, Ostankino is in 11th place. However, it's still the tallest freestanding structure in Europe.
