  We review physical scenarios in different vacua of N=2 supersymmetric QCD
deformed by the mass term \mu for the adjoint matter. This deformation breaks
supersymmetry down to N=1 and, at large \mu, the theory flows to N=1 SQCD. We
focus on dynamical scenarios which can serve as prototypes of what we observe
in real-world QCD. The so-called r=N vacuum is especially promising in this
perspective. In this vacuum an "instead-of-confinement" phase was identified
previously, which is qualitatively close to the conventional QCD confinement:
the quarks and gauge bosons screened at weak coupling, at strong coupling
evolve into monopole-antimonopole pairs confined by non-Abelian strings. We
review genesis of this picture.
