The article presents the results of the current tectonic mobility analysis of the Alexandrovsky graben -widely known tectonic structure in the Lower Volga region. This graben is one of the strongest occurrence of fault tectonics on the Russian Plain. Like other dislocations, it is laid on the contact of two major tectonic elements of the East European platform -the Pachelmsko-Saratov aulacogen and the Caspian syneclise. When the Volgograd Hydroelectric Power Station (1950s) was designed, the fau
