The problem of information distortion is related to the dissemination, accumulation and processing of data in the information society. Distortion of information is a certain attributive feature of human communication, and therefore, the ability to better understand and recognize it – is important for almost all spheres of public life. There are many reasons for the distortion of information, but they are mainly related to: hostile competition; conflict of opposing interests; falsification of facts, deliberate introduction of society into a deceptive state; "Erroneous" or even false explanations, conclusions and interpretations; creating a "non-existent reality" and to achieve victory over the enemy and discredit him. In practice, the greatest distortion of information is observed in the planning of works, in oral orders and in decision-making. Distorted information can be: 1) impulsive – it is noise of various nature, radio waves, special transmitting devices, as well as: fatigue, inattention, excessive emotionality; 2) episodic, which involves the extraction of information data and information provided at the appropriate time and context. There is also a strategic distortion of information, which is aimed at the gradual creation of the desired image (state, party, individual). It is determined that inaccurate messages are distributed by the main subsystems and their elements: the state, political parties, specialized services, WMC, corporations and agencies.

In recent decades, the problem of ethnic conflicts has been one of the most relevant topics for researchers representing various fields of science. The main reason for such a close attention to this issue is the importance of resolving such conflicts, which have also become one of the most common sources of social controversy and political instability. Today, there is a growing emotional tension on the world stage that accompanies conflict interactions and can have both mobilizing and disorganizing effects on the behaviour of conflict participants. In ethnic conflict, as it is developing, the feeling of antipathy or hostility increases. There are always reasons and cases for this. Recent events have shown that ethnic conflicts in different parts of the world go beyond domestic and even regional ones. This is especially important due to the fact that regions of ethnic instability are increasingly associated, both in periodicals and in the scientific literature, with potential subjects of international terrorism. Political and economic spatial structuring consists in the expansion of European integration, the complication of relations between political actors, the change of spheres of geopolitical influence, the transformation of the regime and the democratization of a number of countries. This process is not yet complete, walking and approaching its logical end. Conflict prevention is possible only with a comprehensive approach to solving the problem and combining national policies aimed at harmonizing relations between different ethnic groups, as well as law enforcement agencies and the media.
