Art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon travels through time to unlock the world of Russian art. But best of all is a ride up the Shukhov tower, an amazing construction built by the engineer Vladimir Shukhov between 1919 and 1922. If it's not quite as ignored as AGD suggests (its restoration is after all the focus of a major UNESCO campaign) it is still an astonishing construction that is wonderfully well filmed in this BBC video.
The video, which is part of a film, fully incorporates the ride around this great work by Vladimir Shukhov, Russian engineer, made shortly after the Russian Revolution. For any architect or engineer has always been an exceptional piece that surprisingly and thanks to UNESCO even today remains in perfect condition, because a few years ago was about to be demolished. Truly exceptional.
