  • 8. White Tower Yekaterinburg
    The White House is the most remarkable building in Kyshtym. The grand Palladian townhouse with two lateral towers is set on a hill in a fenced park. It is featured in Kyshtym's city emblem. The original house on the grounds of the Kyshtym iron works was built by Nikita Demidov's son Nikita in the mid-18th century. The current Empire style edifice was constructed in the early 19th century by the plant's next owner, Lev Rastorguyev . The architect was Mikhail Pavlovich Malakhov. Since the late 19th century the palace has housed a local museum with a choice array of mineral exhibits. During World War II the Herzen University was relocated from Leningrad to Kyshtym, with the White House serving as the main campus building. The palace is urgently in need of upkeep and repair.

  • 9. Unfinished TV Tower Yekaterinburg
    An unfinished building is a building where construction work was abandoned or on-hold at some stage or only exists as a design. It may also refer to buildings that are currently being built, particularly those that have been delayed or at which construction work progresses extremely slowly. Many construction or engineering projects have remained unfinished at various stages of development. The work may be finished as a blueprint or whiteprint and never be realised, or be abandoned during construction. One of the best-known perennially incomplete buildings is Antoni Gaudí's Sagrada Família in Barcelona, a church that has been under construction since 1882, and that is now expected to be complete in 2026.
