The article summarizes information about seismic network in the Urals and Western Siberia region, describes processing technique, presents a short analysis of the seismic activity in 2015. Seismic network capability is shown for the whole territory under control. It was found that about 82 % of registered events are explosions in mines and open pits, 37 events are natural or induced ones. For the strongest induced events, variants of source parameters obtained by different agencies are shown. The strongest tectonic event in 2015 and for the last century (after 1914) is the Middle Ural earthquake with ML=4.7, I0=6 that occurred on October 18, 2015.
