Abstract

Historical earthquakes of Minusinsk okrug of Yenisei Province are studied. Information in mass media and professional literature of the second half of the 1800s–early 1900s make it possible significantly to enrich the very limited knowledge on regional seismicity. Materials on six earthquakes missing in former basic macroseismic catalogs are presented, as well as original information from unknown sources on four earthquakes. As a result of the study, one can classify the territory as an area of moderate seismicity. The maximum observed intensity does not exceed 7 on the MSK-64 scale.
