For the first time, the particles of organic polymers have been found in the products of modern volcanism in Kamchatka. They are probably of abiotic origin, which makes it possible to interpret the results of studies from the perspective of volcanic-atmospheric-oceanic hypothesis about the origin of life on the Earth by A. I. Oparin–J. Haldane.
