( Pp. 182-185)

Abstract: This article deals with the problem of solitary terrorism as a type of terrorist activity. The special danger of single terrorism for the world community is noted. The causes of occurrence are analyzed and measures are proposed to prevent single terrorism. Solitary terrorism is one of the types of terrorism that poses a threat to society. Individual terrorists, in turn, are closely connected with terrorist organizations and follow the clear instructions of the organizers of terrorist organizations. In the Russian Federation, terrorism poses a serious threat, as the country is multi-confessional and multinational. This is, on the one hand, fertile ground for the development of terrorism and extremism. Terrorist activity is accompanied by the emergence of ever new forms of its implementation. Solitary terrorism is becoming more and more dangerous, as they use new methods and tools to carry out illegal actions. It should be noted that, in general, it is single terrorists who are distinguished by their training and psychological stability. In turn, they most often commit crimes at the behest of terrorist organizations. For law enforcement agencies, the difficulty of identifying them lies precisely in the fact that they are very well trained and do not have obvious signs of adherence to terrorist ideas. Single terrorists do not arouse suspicion in society, they adapt to the relevant conditions, which complicates their identification. In turn, they act as an instrument of struggle for terrorist organizations, which are sure that it is precisely such a contingent that is most efficient. Involvement in the commission of terrorist acts is most often carried out through the use of information technologies, in particular the global network, instant messengers. The use of these resources also increases the level of danger of single terrorists for society and the state.
