It is shown that the decisive starting point, or nucleus, the formation of the whole chain of monocomplexes, forming the body of the multidimensional education composite conflict today is defined geopolitical component, which builds and organizes the possible space of different combinations is difficult-part of conflict in the post-Soviet area. It is shown that in the current conditions of the deepening crisis of the modern world order, the value contour of the confrontation becomes one of the most important values, obscuring the military and other means of influence in the regional conflict. An artificial confrontation between local civilizations is purposefully formed and the scenario of a local civilizational conflict is methodically implemented, which makes the problem of finding a model of national identity one of the most effective tools of soft power. The General conclusion consists in stating the fact that in the conditions of increasing dynamism of social changes, it is not enough to study individual social conflicts, ignoring the fact of the emergence of a qualitatively new phenomenon – the space of complex-composite conflict, without focusing on the mechanisms and features of its deployment and regulation.
