Abstract
For the last 50 years engineering geology as one discipline of geosciences has made remarkable progress in the studies aimed at justification of design and construction activity and environmental protection. Environmental protection is an acute problem connected with study of today’s exogenous and endogenous geological processes and phenomena, including landslides, and natural risk management. The article addresses the issue of classifying landslides as one of the most widespread geological processes being the basis for landslide study development. It appears that the history of genesis and development of landslide classification also represents development of theory and practice of this complicated geological process study.
