Here we briefly report on first results of self-consistent simulation of non-stationary electron-positron cascades in the polar cap of pulsar using specially developed hybrid PIC/Monte-Carlo numerical code. We consider the case of Ruderman-Sutherland cascade -- when particles cannot be extracted from the surface of the neutrons star.
