Abstract
The regional tectonic structure is considered with characterizing the Penzhina-West Kamchatka folded zone as an intracontinental rift and the Ukelayat-Sredinnyi block as a separated part of the Omolon Massif. It is assumed that the Malka-Petropavlovsk (Nachiki) zone of transverse uplifts is a southern continuation of the Penzhina-West Kamchatka folded zone.
