TLDR
The East European Craton was affected by rift phases during Early, Middle and Late Riphean, early Vendian, early Palaeozoic, Early Devonian and Middle-Late Devonian times and again at the transition from the Carboniferous to the Permian and the permian to the Triassic as discussed by the authors.About:

Plate tectonic evolution of the southern margin of Eurasia in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic
TL;DR: In this paper, 13 time interval maps were constructed, which depict the Triassic to Neogene plate tectonic configuration, paleogeography and general lithofacies of the southern margin of Eurasia.

Dynamic processes controlling evolution of rifted basins
Peter A. Ziegler,Sierd Cloetingh +1 more
TL;DR: The authors of as mentioned in this paper show that the volume of the lithosphere is not necessarily preserved during rifting as advocated by conventional stretching models, and that the structural style of rifts is controlled by the rheological structure of the upper and lower lithosphere, the availability of crustal discontinuities that can be tensionally reactivated, the mode (orthogonal or oblique) and amount of extension, and the lithological composition of pre- and syn-rift sediments.

TL;DR: A comparison of fluvial terrace sequences from around the world, based on data collected as part of International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) Project No. 449, has revealed significant patterns as mentioned in this paper.

Baltica from the late Precambrian to mid-Palaeozoic times: The gain and loss of a terrane's identity
TL;DR: The old terrane of Baltica occupies the mass of northern Europe eastwards to the Urals and lies mostly to the north of the Trans-European Suture Zone The core, the East European Craton, is thick and formed of rocks dating back to well over 3 billion yr, and Protobaltica can be identified as forming part of the supercontinent of Rodinia at about 1 billion yr ago as mentioned in this paper.

Evolution of the Altaid tectonic collage and Palaeozoic crustal growth in Eurasia
TL;DR: A new tectonic model, postulating the growth of giant subduction-accretion complexes along a single magmatic arc now found contorted between Siberia and Baltica, shows that Asia grew by 5.3 million square kilometres during the Palaeozoic era as mentioned in this paper.

First‐ and second‐order patterns of stress in the lithosphere: The World Stress Map Project
TL;DR: In this paper, more than 7300 in situ stress orientations have been compiled as part of the World Stress Map project and over 4400 are considered reliable tectonic stress indicators, recording horizontal stress orientation to within <±25°.

Did the breakout of laurentia turn gondwanaland inside-out?
TL;DR: Comparative geology suggests that the continents adjacent to northern, western, southern, and eastern Laurentia in the Late Proterozoic were Siberia, Australia-Antarctica, southern Africa, and Amazonia-Baltica, respectively.
