( Pp. 97-103)

Abstract: The issues of ensuring national security in difficult geopolitical conditions are among the highest priorities within the framework of the state policy of the Russian Federation, therefore, the purpose of this work is to study development trends, counteraction problems, as well as the features of modern extremism and terrorism, which pose a significant threat to the principles of civil society in almost any rule of law state.
To date, extremism and terrorism as a socio–political phenomenon occupy one of the central places in modern scientific discourse. The discussion of problems related to these negative phenomena is actively taking place on the pages of scientific and journalistic journals, which in turn allows us to talk about the possibility and relevance of their consideration.
The paper notes that one of the general trends of these highly resonant crimes is a steady increase in the degree of their public danger both for the foundations of the social and state system of Russia, and for international relations and international security. This, in turn, presupposes the legal regulation of the fight against these radical social phenomena on the part of the State as one of the priorities.
The objectives of the study are the need to develop a comprehensive set of countermeasures aimed at prevention, as well as combating the activities of extremist and terrorist organizations, which, in our opinion, should in turn be based on: firstly, a nationwide unified set of preventive measures assuming a systematic and permanent nature, covering all the necessary levels of regulatory regulation; secondlysecondly, to increase the effectiveness of the practice of applying anti-terrorist and anti-extremist legislation; thirdly, to use the international experience of other countries that have also faced extremism and terrorism in any form of its manifestations.
When studying the entire block of problems related to countering extremism and terrorism, it should be noted that we are talking about a cultural and social phenomenon whose main idea is the expression of hatred and enmity, and, concerning some of the causes of their occurrence and development, attention should be paid to moral, socio-psychological attitudes in a particular society.
Conclusions: we can talk about the effectiveness of measures taken to counter extremist and terrorist manifestations only if, in addition to persons authorized by law, the whole society as a whole is involved in this process, and of course, among them representatives of the scientific community, scientists of various specialties.
Terrorism and extremism at the present stage of society's development are defined by some distinctive features and signs, in addition, it is possible to trace systemic trends and problems in countering these crimes, which in turn presupposes and requires a comprehensive study and research of these phenomena in order to develop a set of scientifically based practical measures necessary to increase the effectiveness of combating them. In addition, the results of such a comprehensive study can be used for further theoretical research, preparation of scientific papers and practical application of the considered innovative methods in the future, which will become an effective tool in the fight against crime.
