| The sign on the front of this building is TASS in English! Russian 'C' is an English 'S'. In Russian, Tass means "Truth." This was the main news organization during the Communist years, spreading the truth, as they wanted you to hear it. |

This is the infamous TV tower that burned out of control for three days because Russia has been unable to keep up with new technology or properly maintain it's aging infrastructure in recent years. The tower, built in about 1960 is still the tallest structure in the world. Needless to say we had no TV service while in Russia, but there may not have been any English broadcasts anyway. |
| This fabulous monument is dedicated to the Soviet Space Program and Russia's achievements in space. At the top is a sculpture of a rocket ship. The base is beautifully designed so that it looks like an actual lift off. |
