Avant-garde on Shabolovka
Shabolovka's main landmark is the famous radio tower, designed by engineer Vladimir Shukhov. It has become both a symbol of technological progress and an important monument to the Soviet avant-garde. On our tour, you'll learn about Shukhov's amazing engineering solutions, see the Khavsko-Shabolovsky residential complex, and join us on the roof of the communal house on Lesteva Street.
