Abstract
The catalogue of astrobleme-like depressions of Moscow region, including 36 objects, was compiled. Lakes occupy the most part of depressions. Each depression included into catalogue is described by a set of morphologic, geologic, and geomorphologic parameters. The distribution of depressions is not casual: the most part of them lies within the low fluvio-glacial, lacustrine, and alluvial plains. Thence there is only remote chance of their meteoritic origin; their genesis is probably diverse, though related to periglacial conditions of Valdai and Moscow glaciations. The role of the latter in the formation of one of the depressions (Lake Svetloye) is fairly ascertained on the basis of its rim’s cross-section analysis.
