This report provides complex analysis of a certain form of separatism observed in the past in European and Eurasian parts of civilization splits. The author classifies it as a Vandei form, characterized by ethnic cleansing of some territories and by terrorist methods of gaining isolation. He reviews links between this phenomenon and the extreme form of social radicalism - brigandage, that has been a destabilizing factor in the region in those times. The conclusion is made that this tradition of brigandage and armed raids has been restored recently, and that the latter has already led to Caucasian war at the end of the 19th century. The author critically analyses existing approaches to the solution of this problem and mistakes that have been made in this matter. Bibliographic references.
