Based on structural features, the interrelation with marginal folded structures, and the duration of formation, the following superorder (according to the classification of 1963) troughs can be identified at the Siberian Platform margins: marginal, pericratonic, and regional, extending along its margins, as well as rift – related, vertical to the same. The formation of the troughs is closely connected with the cover evolution at its consolidated base – the crystalline basement.

Keywords: Siberian Platform, tectonic definitions, basement, platform troughs, marginal trough, pericratonic trough.
