She was born and raised on Kama. The river went into "flesh and blood." Therefore, I was interested in this photo of the Sar-Apul river pier. I saw him for the first time. You understand, I could not pass by. A semi-dome roof, three rods with a thickening at the top, for the alternative, the conclusion clearly suggests itself about a DEVICE FOR GATHERING ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRICITY or transmitting a wave signal. I will not consider the version with a lightning rod, maybe someone else will comment.
At first I decided that the ramp on the left was the flagpole where the pennant was wrapped around. But there is no thickening from the matter on the pole, it just hangs like a float.
I was looking for the drawings of the landing stage to read the description, I found only drawings. Although the sites have numbers of projects, names of designers, I do not presume to judge the projects were they were from "scratch" or for the reconstruction of structures.
In the first picture, a thick rod with a triangular top (like a Masonic eye?) Emits rays (light, radio -..?.). The second picture shows a helical pendant, similar to the "float" from the first photo. This is not a pennant for sure, there is a third drawing where the pennant is clearly drawn. There are other devices on the roofs. In Fig. 3 it looks like an ordinary chimney, the rest of the devices are of unknown purpose.
If some of the landing stages were used as beacons, the rods could glow like this:
Promotional video:
These are the "lights of St. Elmo", usually occur in stormy weather on sharp objects, at the ends of masts, for example. In our time, this phenomenon also takes place, and it gives trouble to power engineers.
Tomsk Scientists have come up with a sensor for power lines against St. Elmo's Lights. This will prevent corona discharge on power lines in bad weather.
In the photo there are "St. Elmo's lights" on a high-voltage line, during a bad weather there is an energy leak.

Do not think that such rods were only on the Sar-Apulian landing stage.

Simbirsk.
The rods are also visible. Pay attention to the design of these buildings: in the middle is the higher part with rods, on the sides of the annex, along the annexes there is an open terrace with columns. It looks like something, but here it is:
Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg.
There is an assumption that in the Kazan Cathedral and other similar structures around the world, the columns played the role of "batteries": inside the rod, and the stone plays the role of an insulator. It is difficult to say what function the pillars on the landing stage performed, in the last Soviet ones it is possible just imitative and decorative, as they say "Stalin's Empire". Although it would be interesting to cut)))
Here is a diagram of the rotunda in terms of energy and information waves, maybe this will add meaning to the whole article.

The landing stage in Sarapul, which I vaguely remember, was like this under the Soviet Union:
At first I thought it was a pre-revolutionary building. But I found data that four landing stages were ordered to Sarapul in 1959-1960 at the Gorodetsky shipyard. She began to produce landing stages in the late forties. Before that, perhaps the old ones were used. But it is also possible that not construction was carried out, but reconstruction. There are project numbers, names of designers, but I did not find drawings in the public domain. The very first photo of the Sarapul pier may be one of several, since we had several marinas on the other side of the Kama too.
Pay attention to the roof. A complex, multi-stage, elevation in the middle, a small superstructure and a familiar rod with a ball at the end. I was also surprised by the "double" roof. Two parallel roofs in the middle. What for? I have an association with battery plates.
Imagine this structure of stone three times this size. "Antique architecture" immediately emerges. In Soviet times, this style was called "Stalinist Empire, neoclassicism", although some already doubt that it was built under Stalin. Although he studied at a theological seminary, he may have had some information (for which he was expelled?)
Here are more similar berths, so that the massive nature of the phenomenon is clear.

The same parallel roofs, rods. Above, the photo of the Rybinsk pier is more modern, obviously the roof was being repaired and the elements that had become unnecessary were removed.

In the photo above: on the landing stage in Plyos, windows are visible on a small superstructure, on others they are already sealed. Previously, this could have been a control room. Here's another one with the preserved windows:
River pier in Pavlov.
The landing stage in Kirov.
Even such monsters moved with the help of a small domed rotunda.
River stations were built according to the same architectural principles as the quays, although sometimes the quays were dragged ashore and secured, sometimes the river became shallow and left them on the shore. In Vyatskiye Polyany, a small upper superstructure generally resembles a real lighthouse, for example, this one, the ancient Alexandria lighthouse:
Ancient Alexandria lighthouse, reconstruction. There is a more complicated structure here: not two wings near the high center, but a closed perimeter with corner towers. When they describe the work of this lighthouse in antiquity, the tale about the white bull usually begins: “hundreds of miles of carts with firewood went day and night to the lighthouse to maintain the fire that was burning above, so needed by the sailors” … A small question: why install a bronze sculpture, if it gets smoked anyway?
Here is an older version of the reconstruction of this lighthouse.
Here you can see the rods on the towers, at the top the sculpture plays the role of the rod.
There are modern (?) Capital buildings of river terminals, built on the shore, which have the same scheme.
Moscow, Khimki river port, built (or restored?) In 1933-37. It is also believed to be the "Stalinist Empire" style.
Photo below: Krasnoyarsk river port, 1948-52. In our time, some of the spans were glazed (perhaps this was not allowed before, if we imagine that these columns are energy storage units).
Port of Krasnoyarsk, 2011.
Photo below: Tverskoy river port, 1932-38, collapsed heavily in 2017.
Either in Stalin's time they used old buildings, or tried to recreate what they still remembered. Or it was just "fashionable". Although all these terraces with columns are very expensive and little-functional pleasure, in our times.
Let's move a little aside from the topic. Here is a diagram comparing the work of the Egyptian pyramids and temple complexes with the Tesla coil. Only here the pyramid plays the role of a secondary shell, and the contour around it is the primary one. The pyramid converts the magnetic vibrations of the earth into infrasonic and transfers them further along underground corridors (this is why masses of underground corridors were needed, and not only in case of invasions. In Sarapul, old-timers say that all churches were connected by such passages. My friend in I even dug in my childhood). Infrasonic vibrations reach the temple complex near the water, and then the Nile RIVER SAMA becomes a conductor. How much all this influenced the flora and fauna is unknown. (See the MyTexno Lab YouTube channel for this topic).
In our conditions, the role of pyramids is played by temples. Many are standing by the river. For example, ours, Sarapul, which was destroyed: the Ascension Church.
Ascension Church. Sarapul.
The Kama river flows behind the cathedral. The role of the primary winding could be the fence that surrounded the entire church. And in general, notice what the fences were: wrought iron and a brick post, although it is completely optional, apparently it played the role of grounding or something else. All our cities are filled with these fences. (Now, in imitation they are building the same). But I think that they also carried the lighting function before.
For example, here is such a fence near the Intercession Church in Sarapul.
Or such a fence not far from the same temple. Please note that there is clearly some detail inside, insulated with brick. This is a question for power engineers.
It was these temples that induced radiation to the landing stages and further along the river and banks. This scheme can also involve the so-called water towers and water pumping stations (also located near the river). For example, in Sarapul, the water tower, the temple of Xenia the Blessed and the water pumping station near the Kama are absolutely on a flat line, (and the distance is 2000 km, as between Egyptian similar structures).
At Kama there is a water pumping station, then a temple, after 330 m there is a water tower, and the tower is not on the meridian. A perfectly straight line is needed for the passage of the infrasuk, which is converted into energy.
Weren't you surprised that the water towers have windows and this is a rather complicated structure for water intake? For example, such a tower.
Water tower in Vladimir.
I get the impression that water, rotundas, fences, steles, pyramids, spiers, repeating patterns, water towers and so on, are all power systems of the past.
The closer to our time, the less traces of those proportions, those elements remain. Areas are really being created for convenient operation, and not as energy storage receivers. Like these ones:
Marine station, St. Petersburg, brutalism style, 1982.
The landing stage in Zamoskvorechye.
The landing stage at Fort Constantine.
Strange things happen with old landing stages. In Vyatskiye Polyany in 1999, the next night after the death of the head of the port, a landing stage burned down … A whole epic unfolded around the Volgograd old pier. It collapsed, was recognized as an identified historical monument, nevertheless they tried to demolish it. Local activists fought for him for several months, were on duty. There were attacks on them, hospitalization, but failed to defend, the building burned down. There is a lot of information about other burned-out berths, it is usually stated: careless handling of fire, that is, this is not a planned disposal. A conspiracy theorist would say: someone is covering their tracks.
I will also note that often along the rivers (and not only) there were railway tracks, steam locomotives needed water and energy, and water pumps and water towers were built on the banks.
The cargo port at Sararule.
This is all that remains of the railway line that runs along the bank of the Kama.
These are strange structures - water towers, perhaps in them one of the keys to the past.
It also happened that the steamers in Sararal docked almost on the sand.
Sarapul without a berth.
Now our Sarapul is preparing for a large flow of tourists. One of the first motor ships "Rus" with our and Ukrainian citizens is met by the artists of the "Tochka" theater in the guise of pioneers. We hope we will have a solid berth. I would like it to be in the old style.
The first tourist boats in Sarapul.
And finally, an amazing photo. I don't even know how to comment, more precisely, you yourself see everything.
Caption on the photo: Volga. STATE pier 38. Kazan ethnographers hastened to attribute this miracle to the Kazan pier. Well, maybe. The building is brick, I doubt that it is too high for swimming, unstable on the water (although floating churches still exist). The middle of the building has the classic appearance of an amplifier-collector of atmospheric electricity: a high dome with a spire, around the contour, smaller turrets in the corners. And two wings on either side.
These are the observations.
My subjective opinion.
