Moscow Octod Tower, Television tower in Khoroshevo-Mnyovniki district, Russia

The Moscow Octod Tower was a 258-metre lattice tower on Demyana Bednogo Street in western Moscow, built as a beltless spatial metal mesh shell of hot-rolled tubes. Its base ring measured 36 m across, narrowing to about 5.6 m at the 201 m mark, where a four-sided antenna frame rose to a six-metre support on the top platform. The tower was dismantled by November 2024.

The tower was built between 2004 and 2006 at the site of the former October Radio Center in Moscow. Construction marked the continuation of broadcasting history at this location.

The tower's name comes from its owner, the broadcasting company "Octod", which operated it on the grounds of the former October Radio Center. Until April 2022 it carried Moscow FM stations such as Radio Dacha, Nashe Radio, Mayak and Silver Rain, which were gradually moved to the Balashikha mast and the Ostankino tower. The structure was dismantled by November 2024.

The tower no longer exists: dismantling began in August 2022 and was finished by November 2024, so there is nothing left to view at the site on Demyana Bednogo Street. The land of the former October radio center was released for development by a Moskomarkhitektura order of 11 June 2020. Look instead to the Balashikha mast and the Ostankino tower, where its FM stations were moved between summer 2021 and spring 2022.

The upper sections were positioned using a heavy-lift helicopter, an unusual method for assembling such a large structure. This approach shows how engineering teams solved assembly challenges for this broadcast facility.
