The XXZ–model was investigated within two–particle cluster approximation with two variational parameters $φ^z$, $φ^x$. The long–range interaction $J$ was taken into account in the framework of mean–field approximation.

At various values of the anisotropy parameter $\ani$ ($K^{zz}=γ K$, $K^{xx}=K^{yy}=α K$, $J^{zz}=γ J$, $J^{xx}=J^{yy}=α J$, $K$ — short–range interaction) and long–range interaction $J$, phase diagrams were constructed and temperature dependences of $\langle S^z \rangle$, $\langle S^x \rangle$, entropy, specific heat, and static susceptibility were calculated. It was shown that at $\ani \geq 1$ two–particle cluster approximation gave qualitatively incorrect results in a low–temperature region.
