North Ossetia, as a republic integrated into the global communication space, faced the problem of refugees and migrants, including students, which gave rise to the problems of interaction between different ethnic groups. The purpose of the article is to identify and describe the content of the sociocultural process in the context of countering interethnic conflicts among young people. The main objective of the study is to construct a fragment of the explication of conceptual tolerance and intolerance in the minds of young men and women of North Ossetia.
