The latest structural elements, as extensively developed in the form of systems of uplifts and depressions, have been identified on the basis of the comparison of relief and geological data. These elements have been studied by interpretation of satellite images and topographic maps in the form of lineaments predetermined by disjunctive dislocations. As a result of the research, the neotectonic shear stresses fields have been reconstructed with the orientation of the submeridional compression axes of the rank I tectonic stresses, which is generally in agreement with the subhorizontal compression axes established in almost all regions of Northern Eurasia and, generally, oriented submeridionally.
