Abstract
In relation to the 30th anniversary of the Spitak earthquake that occurred on December 7, 1988, the article provides a brief overview of information on the parameters of this earthquake, its consequences, and some lessons. Attention is focused mainly on the seismological aspects of this event and certain problems of engineering seismology that have arisen. The possible influence of the Spitak earthquake and its consequences on the future development of seismology in general and engineering seismology in particular is discussed. Specific issues of earthquake-resistant design are also touched upon.
