Abstract
Seismic observations by 46 stationary seismic stations, including seven temporary seismic stations located in the area of Novovoronezh and Kursk nuclear power plants, and by two arrays were carried out on the Russian territory of the East European Platform. A feature of seismicity in 2016–2017 is a manifestation of swarms of weak earthquakes in the northwest in the Leningrad region and the adjacent territory of Finland, as well as earthquakes on the Ukrainian Shield with Мs(est.)=3.8 in Krivoy Rog, where mass explosions are carried out in mines, but earthquakes of moderate magnitude МL=2.6–3.9 also occur (2007, 2013). Weak earthquakes in the peripheral parts (in the southwest, west and northwest) and in zones associated with paleorift structures: in the northeast – with the Kirov-Kazhim and Central Russian aulacogenes continue to be recorded. Weaker natural seismicity with ML≤2.5 was recorded in Karelia and the regions bordering Finland, near the Kandalaksha Bay, near the Khibiny and Lovozero massifs on the Kola Peninsula and in the territory of the Voronezh crystalline massif.
