Abstract
On the basis of new cartographic materials and field research the conventional opinion of hazardous endo- and exogenic processes on the Great Caucasus was reconsidered. Seismic activity on the North Caucasus is accepted to be higher than it was early considered. Elborus and Kazbek are attributed as potentially active volcanoes. The description is given of the catastrophes of the late decades and their aftermath: glacio-nival mudflows, destructive floods of 2000-2002 in Georgia, landslides, earth falls etc. An ecological disaster on the Caspian seashore is being developed now and this will continue in future. Irrational politics in the civil engineering and agricultural development aggravates the hazardous processes effects.
