An analysis of earthquake succession during 1962-2001 years and location their hypocenters has been made within the Kamchatkan subduction zone. Seismic active faults (strike-slip and upcast) were reconstructed within an edge of Eurasian plate. Structure of the seismic focal zone show the best correlation with the Lobkovsky, Baranov model (1984). It is important for a prediction of a time and especially a location of next strong earthquakes.
