The Tallest Abandoned Structure In The World

The Leaning Tower Of Yekaterinburg

Turn your eyes skyward anywhere in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg and you will see it. A tall off-white, disheveled but somehow elegant tower is by far the tallest building in Russia's fourth most populated city.

Yet this is not a monument to a fallen tsar or departed dictator. It's a TV tower. What is more, it's an unfinished TV tower. Nonetheless it gives the city another claim to fame - as the home to the tallest abandoned structure in the world.
