      Landau collision integral is approximated by the integral of Boltzmann collisions within the expanded phase. General approach to solving Boltzmann equation using Monte-Karlo method being similar to techniques of direct statistical modeling in sparse gas dynamics is described. Two schemes of modeling collisions in plasma are given. The proposed techniques are accompanied with numerical calculations.
