Observations of the peculiar source 4C 21.53 obtained at 20 and 25 MHz using the Ukrainian UTR-2 radio telescope during April-May 1983 are reported. Interplanetary scintillations of flux density 250 + or - 50 and 160 + or - 25 Jy, respectively, are detected, and the half-intensity size of the scintillating component is estimated as 2.0 and 1.5 arcsec, respectively, assuming a Gaussian brightness distribution. Other parameters determined include pulsar distance about 2 kpc and 20-80-MHz spectral index 1.85 + or - 0.15, in agreement with observations of Crab and Cas A compact sources.
