Some of the largest Russian earthquakes since the latter half of the 20th century are the 1958/1963 and 2006/2007 earthquakes in the Kuril Islands near Japan, as well as the 1952/1959 earthquakes in the Kamchatka Peninsula, all of which were ≥ 8.0 M. See also the Kuril–Kamchatka Trench.
Earthquakes associated with the Kuril-Kamchatka subduction zone are of the megathrust type. The subduction zone is associated with at least two known ~9.0 M w earthquakes in the pre-instrumental period; 1737 and 1841. [6] The 1737 earthquake measured M w 9.0–9.3, and generated the largest known tsunami (60 meters) on the peninsula. [7]
The M w 7.5 earthquake occurred on March 25. The earthquake was the largest to occur in Russia since the 2013 Okhotsk Sea earthquake. [17] It was initially reported as 7.8 M w , before being downgraded to 7.5. [18] This shock was a result of near-trench intraplate compressional faulting within the descending Pacific plate.

The 2013 Okhotsk Sea earthquake occurred with a moment magnitude of 8.3 at 15:44:49 local time (05:44:49 UTC) on 24 May. [1] It had an epicenter in the Sea of Okhotsk and affected primarily (but not only) Asian Russia, especially the Kamchatka Peninsula where the shaking lasted for five minutes.
The Shiveluch volcano began sputtering shortly after a powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck off Kamchatka’s east coast early Sunday, according to volcanologists from the Russian Academy of Sciences. They warned that another, even more potent earthquake may be on the way.
