This seems to be Krasnoyarsk Dam, in Divnogorsk, Russia. The largest currently operating boat lift in the world in displacement and vertical lift.
The dam has a self-moving ship elevator, which is like a giant bathtub that takes barges up to the top of the dam and back down to the river.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Krasnoyarsk Dam is a 124-metre (407 ft) high concrete gravity dam located on the Yenisey River about 30 kilometres (19 mi) upstream from Krasnoyarsk in Divnogorsk, Russia. It was constructed from 1956 to 1972, and it supplies about 6,000 MW (six GW) of power, mostly used to supply the KrAZ (Krasnoyarsky Aluminievyy Zavod, the Krasnoyarsk Aluminum Plant). Both power and aluminum plants are controlled by the RUSAL company.
Beginning with the opening of the 10th turbine in April 1971, the powerhouse was the world’s single largest power plant until the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington State reached 6,181 MW in 1983. The Krasnoyarsk Dam is held to be a landmark symbol of Krasnoyarsk, and it is depicted on the 10-ruble banknote.
As a result of the damming, the Krasnoyarsk Reservoir was created. This reservoir, informally known as the Krasnoyarsk Sea, has an area of 2,000 square kilometres (770 sq mi) and a volume of 73.3 cubic kilometres (18 cu mi). It is 388 km (241 mi) in length and 15 km (9 mi) in width at its widest, has an average depth of 36.6 m (120.1 ft), and a depth of 105 m (344 ft) near the dam.The Krasnoyarsk Dam significantly influences the local climate; normally the river would freeze over in the bitterly-cold Siberian winter, but because the dam releases unfrozen water year-round, the river never freezes in the 200 kilometres (120 mi) to 300 kilometres (190 mi) stretch of river immediately downstream from the dam. In winter, the frigid air interacts with the warm river water to produce fog, which shrouds Krasnoyarsk and other downstream areas.
The dam is equipped with a canal inclined plane to allow passage of ships. It is in fact an electric rack railway. The track gauge is 9,000 mm (29 ft 6 5⁄16 in), making it the widest-gauge railway of any type in the world. At the time of its construction, this feat of modern engineering allowed for ships to be physically moved in only 90 minutes.
Inclined plane for barges in Siberia
On this inclined plane near Krasnoyarsk, Russia, a self propelled railcar moves barges over a dam in the Yenissei river. It moves 120 metres / 400 ft up and down, changing direction at the top.

Yenisei River Cruise, Siberia, Russia (Part 1)
Yenisei River (Yenisey, Енисей) is considered the 7th largest river on our planet and the 2nd in Russia. The river is almost 5,500 kilometres (3,420 miles) long. Its watershed, which includes Lake Baikal, holds more water than any other river system. Yenisei's tributaries include famous Angara, Nizhnyaya Tunguska, and Tuba rivers.[
Yenisei (Yenisey, Енисей) rises in the mountains of Russia near the Mongolian border and flows generally northward through Siberia into the Kara Sea, Arctic Ocean. The river is often considered the boundary between Western and Eastern Siberia.
The Yenisei and its tributaries are rich in fish, including salmon and sturgeon. As the river flows north towards the sea it travels through taiga forests which change into a tundra.
