Tilichiki

Russia / Korjakija / Tilichiki /
 village, district center

Tilichiki (Russian: Тили́чики) is a rural locality (a selo) and the administrative center of Olyutorsky District of Koryak Okrug of Kamchatka Krai, Russia.[1] It is located on the Korfa Bay of the Kamchatka Peninsula.
Tilichiki was established in 1898, and in 1930 it became the administrative center of the district. In April 2006, it was struck by a series of earthquakes which caused substantial damage. The first quake occurred on April 21 and had a moment magnitude of 7.6. The epicenter was nearly 90 kilometers (56 mi) to the northeast at a depth of 22 kilometers (14 mi) under mostly unpopulated areas. This was followed by several aftershocks, and on April 29 a further earth tremor with a magnitude of 6.6 was recorded. This was the strongest earthquake in the region for over a hundred years, and although there were no fatalities, three of the smaller localities were completely destroyed. Tilichiki was re-built after the quake, as it is the most important populated place for more than 1,000 kilometers (620 mi) of coast between Anadyr in the north and Ust-Kamchatsk in the south.
