Death Tower, Administrative building in Perm, Russia
The Death Tower rises 43 meters with its three-tiered corner section, dominating Komsomolskaya Square with five floors of Soviet monumental architecture.
The structure, completed in 1952, was initially planned as the main building of Perm University before becoming the headquarters of internal affairs.
Local folklore associates the building with urban tales of secret underground tunnels connecting to the former NKVD prison and Egoshikha necropolis.
The regional cultural heritage site houses the Perm Territory Internal Affairs Department and stands at the intersection of Heroes Khasan Street and Komsomolsky Avenue.
The name 'Death Tower' may originate from a movie shown at a nearby summer cinema during the building's construction period in the early 1950s.
