        • Grigory Yeliseyev bought the former Kozitskaya mansion in 1898; the architect Baranovsky led its conversion into a shop.
        • For three years the building stood wrapped in wooden scaffolding, and townspeople wondered what was inside; the scaffolding came down on the morning of the opening.
        • The shop opened on 23 January (5 February) 1901; Gilyarovsky described the ceremony in Moscow and Muscovites.
        • The entrance to the wine department was made from Kozitsky Lane: wine could not be sold within 100 m of a church, and the Strastnoy Monastery stood 90 m away.
        • The display of goods in pyramids, later copied by many shops, was Yeliseyev's idea.
        • From the 1920s the shop was officially called Gastronom No. 1.
        • In the early 1980s, in the "Yeliseyevsky case", the shop's director Sokolov was sentenced to death.

        • The tower was built in 1919–1922 for a radio station that Lenin, by a decree of 30 July 1919, ordered to be set up "in an extremely urgent manner".
        • The first design was for 350 m, taller than the Eiffel Tower, but it was cut back because of a metal shortage; 240 tonnes of steel were allocated from military reserves.
        • During assembly a cable snapped and the fourth section fell from a height of 75 m, damaging the fifth and sixth.
        • Radio broadcasts from the tower began on 19 March 1922.
        • Shukhov built his first lattice tower in 1896 for the exhibition in Nizhny Novgorod; it survives at the Polibino estate.
        • Alexei Tolstoy's novel The Garin Death Ray (Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin) was inspired by the buzz around the tower's construction.
