Russian criminal wooden castle skyscraper

Oh yes - I knew this would happen if I started researching outsider architecture again. Stumbled upon this via fenrisjaw.blogspot.com doing a search for wooden castles. Nikolai Sutyagin began building this in a small north west Russian town before going to jail - it's still somewhat unfinished and foolhardy but you've got to love the unveering dedication to his dreams... Locals say it's an eyesore, but the Romantic in me wants to see it as a doomed folk art version of Kizhi island churches... God I really should be editing my novel...
