Abstract
One of the Arab Spring consequences that shocked Middle East region was an ouster of some autocratic rulers with Libyan leader M. Qaddafi among them. Libya suffered the crash of its state institutes; vacuum of rule has actually emerged. Against this background the country witnessed a starting of destruction processes. They caused systematic crises and conflicts inside new authorities which strongly aggravated since summer of 2014.The article is about to examine turbulent events which resulted in poising of dual power in 2014.The two opposing poles of power emerged in Libya: one -in Tripoli, another – in Tobruk (the East of the country), each with its own parliament, government and military forces.The author analyses the ongoing conflict between these two blocks which had already caused numerous casualties among both military and civil personal. The picture of balance of power is patchy and volant that makes the further course of confrontation between opponents extremely unpredictable.It is hard to expect a hopeful forecast for fastest cession of the conflict and normalizing of common situation in Libya.The author also examines some efforts of the United Nations to play a role of mediator to reconcile opposing sides and to restore the rule of integrated state.

Summary
Аннотация Одним из последствий «арабской весны», потрясшей регион Ближнего Востока с 2011 г., стало смещение авторитарных руководителей ряда стран, в том числе ливийского лидера М. После свержения режима Каддафи в октябре 2011 г., Ливия переживает глубокие катаклизмы, угрожающие ее единству и территориальной целостности. Это – бывшие видные функционеры режима, в том числе министры, видные офицеры армии и сил безопасности, бизнесмены и прочие влиятельные фигуры, которые в большой степени материально процветали при прошлом режиме. Возник неустойчивый и противоречивый баланс интересов и сил между различными группами, которые во многом являются продуктом предыдущей эпохи правления и, несмотря на смену риторики, несут ее кланово-племенной отпечаток. Каддафи не создал четкой системы наследования высшей власти и опирался на свое семейное окружение, что способствовало тому, что между верхушкой власти и народными комитетами (административными структурами) образовались бреши, которые и заполнили новые люди из разных этажей и сегментов ливийского общества после свержения режима.
