Natural and anthropogenic impacts on seismicity are considered. Taking into account the importance of the discussed problem, the authors propose to open the discussion on the questions considered. In this connection a wide circle of known experimental data is considered, which are indicative of the possibility in principle of active impact on the seismogenic medium for the smooth relieving of accumulated tectonic stresses in the Earth’ s crust. The reasoning is presented of one of the promising ways of the smooth controlled relaxation of the accumulated tectonic stresses in the Earth’s crust at the places of the probable onset of strong earthquakes due to a considerable increase in the plastic slips, which facilitate the decrease of the number and energy of earthquakes. The approach proposed is based on the results of the works on the excited seismicity, obtained in different regions of the Earth. Special attention is given to the most detailed long-term investigations of the excited seismicity in the region of the reservoir of the Nurek hydroelectric station in Tadzhikistan and in the neighborhood of the actively mined Romashkinskoe oil deposit in the Republic of Tatarstan. The results of the laboratory investigations of the behavior of samples made of materials of crystalline and amorphous structures under the action of pressure and vibration are invoked for the substantiation of the physical nature of the observed effects. For the reduction of seismic hazard, it is proposed to use vibration actions and water injection in the bore holes at the places of the expected seismic catastrophes in a time mode matched with the tidal motions of the Earth.
