In the article the analysis of conflictogenic potential of the North Caucasus as one of the most troubled regions of modern Russia is presented. It is shown that the inertial scenario of its development realized in modern Russia with relief local specifics is distinctly noticeable in social dynamics of the North Caucasus as well.

Keywords: conflictogenic potential, development scenario, social dynamics, troubled region, the North Caucasus.

This article presents an agent-based computational model of civil violence. In the model we present variant of civil violence when central authority seeks to suppress decentralized rebellion. This model involves two categories of actors. ‘‘Agents’’ are members of the general population and may be actively rebellious or not. ‘‘Cops’’ are the forces of the central authority, who seek out and arrest actively rebellious agents. Both type of actors are having attributes and behavioral rules.

Keywords: Legitimacy, Grievance, Perceived Hardship, Risk Aversion, Jail, Neighborhood, Vision Radius, Salami Tacktics, Initial Density, Active Agent, Quiet Agent, Civil Violence, Visualization, Tension, Ripness Index.

It is shown that for research of difficult processes of social interaction at the present stage of development of system modeling hierarchical systems of cognitive models, cognitive architecture and the integrated systems of modeling are even more often used. With reference to these processes the system of models should reflect various abstractions of the description of structure, various aspects of her behavior, stages (iterations) of its evolution in the course of functioning and development. It is offered to consider architecture of set of models in a need context for the solution of a task at a concrete investigation phase.

Keywords: process of social interaction, research, modeling, modeling technologies, systems modeling.

  Nowadays, a dramatic increase in the influence of events of the blogosphere onto the world's political and social processes is observed. We in Northern - Caucasian Scientific Center of High School have developed techniques of social media monitoring and modeling of the structure of the thematic blogosphere segment. During monitoring process the following attributes are under analysis: sense of text, types, complexity and set of features of objects, types of relations between the objects themselves, etc. - to obtain complete range of blogosphere users’ opinions on a particular theme. The structure of the politically active segment of the social network is modeled with the help of graph, using appropriate mathematical methods of analysis. With the help of the technique been developed research of the social media communications was carried out in the context of the State Duma elections.

Keywords: blogosphere, modeling, monitoring, election campaigning, social media, social networks
