N2 - Multistage deformations in the Main Ural Fault Zone is recorded in the structural features of this zone in the southern part of the Polar Urals. The deformation of the oldest metamorphic complexes in the Khord”yus massif and Dzelyayu block developed during the precollision stage. After formation of the general nappe–thrust structure of the Urals, these blocks were squeezed to the higher crustal levels. Deformation in other tectonic units started at the early collision stage during regional thrusting. Brittle failure was superposed over the all previously formed structures at the late collision and postcollision stages.
