The Union of scientific and engineering organizations of Russia, MGTU after N.E. Bauman and the Shukhov Tower Foundation initiated the erection of the monument to V.G. Shukhov in Moscow. We collect the means for festal arrangements related to the opening of the monument.

The creation of the Shukhov center in Moscow.
The project envisages the creation of a modern business center and a cultural complex in Moscow. The main thematic trends of the Shukhov center's activities must correspond with the many-sided creative heritage of V.G. Shukhov.
The establishing of the V.G. Shukhov prize for new technical developments in the field of oil extraction and for the implementation of progressive technologies in the fuel-energy sector.

The restoration of the Shukhov Tower in Moscow.
In 2007 the Shukhov Tower will be 85 and it needs a serious expertise and restoration. It is expedient to restore the tower with the participation of the leading domestic and foreign specialists, the competent scientific institutions and public organizations.
