ResumoOne of the most catastrophic tsunamis in history occurred on November 5, 1952 near the Nothern Kuril Islands. Unfortunately, most of the information related to this catastrophe was classified as secret and top secret in the USSR for many years. Until recently, this tsunami is not well-known. This report contains a part of the results of a search made in the different recently declassified Russian archives and also information given by eye-witnesses.
