Abstract

In spite of the moderate magnitudes, the macroseismic effects of these seismic events were quite impressive. Large ground deformations (landslides, collapses, etc.) that are typical of stronger earthquakes arose in the Kaliningrad region. Surface vibrations from the strong shock were felt throughout the vast territory of the Kaliningrad region, Baltic states (Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, and Finland), Belarus, Poland, and eastern Denmark and in St. Petersburg. The seismic activation was also manifested as a series of other, less perceptible events. Two areas of a shaking intensity of 6 due to the main shock of September 21 were localized on the NW coast of the Kaliningrad region. One area is located to the west of the city of Kaliningrad, and the other, in the NW part of the Sambiiskii Peninsula. However, other estimates of the observed seismic effect are also available. Investigations continue, and their diverse results require a comprehensive analysis.
