The Shukhov tower on the Oka is the world's only hyperboloid multisectional power line support, made in the form of a carrying mesh shell. The height is 128 m. It is located about 12 km from the city of Dzerzhinsk on the left bank of the Oka, beyond the village of Dachny. This is one of the two high-altitude multi-section hyperboloid structures of VG Shukhov preserved in Russia, the second is the Shukhov Tower on Shabolovka in Moscow. The Shukhov Tower on the Oka was built seven years after the tower on Shabolovka, recognized by Western experts as a more perfect and worthy inscription on the World Heritage List.
