... the 92-year-old structure had fallen into disrepair since it stopped transmitting TV signals in 2002. Plans to dismantle and relocate the tower were announced earlier this year, prompting Norman Foster, Rem Koolhaas and other architects to petition Vladimir Putin to save it. Moscow's city council has now announced that the tower will be preserved at its current site. — newscientist.com

I'm not used to associating happy feelings with modern-day Russian politics, but this is such a win. Props to Moscow, and the many people who stood up for its preservation.
It's a great news. One of the most beauttiful structures in the world. I hope that it will soon be renovated
