A model is proposed whereby the process by which soft gamma-ray bursts are generated can be divided into three parts: (1) corequakes in one of the stressed regions within the solid core of the neutron star, (2) generation of nonradial neutron star vibrations, the amplitude at the surface being much larger than within the star, and (3) generation of a variable electromagnetic field, charged particles are detached from the stellar surface and plasma heating results. The presence of a strong magnetic field will ensure that the gamma-radiation from this plasma will be collimated: since old neutron stars rotate with a period nearly 10-20 sec, the observed time structure of gamma-bursts will be obtained. The duration of stellar vibrations is determined by gravitational radiation (10-30 sec).
