The Soyembika Tower (named for the last queen of Kazan) is
a familiar landmark and architectural symbol of Kazan. Once the highest
structure of that city's kremlin, it used to be one of the so-called
leaning towers. By the early 20th century, its inclination was estimated
at 194 cm (76 in). Diverse stabilization methods were used to straighten
the tower in the 1930s and 1990s.
