Abstract. The North Caucasus Federal District is one of the most difficult regions of Russia, which is due to multi-ethnicity, multi-confessionals in the first place, as well as a number of acute problems typical of the region, such as economic destabilization, open transnational issues around repeatedly changing borders, and the problem of repressed peoples. Such a circle of acute questions cannot but create a conflict-generating situation in the region.

This article partially discloses the problem of religion and its significance in the region. The author reveals the history of the emergence of the strengthening of traditional religions and branches of new religious trends from them. The article used the materials of a mass survey of the population of the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District of the Russian Federation: in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, the Chechen Republic, the Karachay-Cherkessia Republic, the Republic of Ingushetia, the Republic of Dagestan, the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, conducted in the summer of 2016, North – The Ossetian Department of Social Research of the Institute of Social and Political Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Department of Sociology of North Ossetian State University named after K.L. Khetagurova. In total, 1200 respondents took part in the survey, including 50 experts (journalists, scientists, officials, members of political parties, cultural workers, representatives of various faiths, lawyers). The opinion of the population of the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District and the expert community on the reasons for the spread of NRT is given. It is concluded that the basis of such movements is young people who seek their spiritual ideal, and sometimes simply social justice, which they today can’t find either within the walls of traditional religious institutions or in high society.
