The comments in russian mention it is a "generator of Marx", located in 
town of Istra, not far from Moscow.  Soviets loved to give names of 
leaders to big projects.  Comments also mention that it is no longer 
operational, but somewhat guarded, and they had to sneak in to take the 
pictures.

Here's another mention of the same location: 
http://www.proektstroy.ru/publications/publication.php?tag=4236&bigid=0

The article describes an "impulse generator" of 6-9 megavolts 
constructed in 1976.  A large part of the text is about durability of 
the fiberglass support columns, which were evaluated in 2001 along with 
other structural components. The tower in picture is 39.3 meters.  The 
tower has a toroidal metal top 3 meters high, and a vertical pipe in the 
center for running a conductive cable off the tower.
