In this paper the main features of Russian wind load code are shown in comparison with requirements of some national and international codes. All parameters of average and gust loads: the basic wind pressure, importance factor, territory coefficient and shape factor as well as a dynamic coefficient, are discussed here. Besides, for four structures the “theoretically” exact dynamic coefficient that was numerically found is compared with its value drawn from the considered codes. It is shown that, at least, for these structures, Eurocode underrates the gust response and, on the contrary, Russian code overstates the one in the most cases.
