Topical Issues of the Spread of Extremism Among Young People
( Pp. 124-129)

Abstract: The article examines the problems of the spread of youth extremism in conditions of foreign policy instability, which can provoke the spread of illegal acts and extremist ideology in the minds of young people. In recent years, informal right- and left-wing radical youth groups have become more active in a number of regions of Russia. Representatives of various movements, which are supported by the curators of Western special services, seek to take advantage of these trends. They exert a destructive influence on young people, try to draw them into their ranks, use them, including for extremist purposes - the transition from hooligan actions to the implementation of terrorist acts.
The reason for youth extremism, according to many authors, should be sought in the conscious and unconscious feeling of social exclusion by young people. At the same time, the reasons for feeling deprived in young people may be different. They may have a purely economic nature - a sharp stratification of society into poor and rich. They may arise from the ideological features of a particular situation in society, when devaluation or destruction of the idea of patriotism occurs intentionally or due to underestimation of importance.
In the context of the developing anti-Russian propaganda, youth representatives actively express their commitment to illegal ideas expressed on the global network, which is especially common on social networks and messengers.
Many scientists in their works, investigating the causes and factors of extremism among young people, note that in modern conditions of global exacerbation of extremist activity, countering youth extremism is the most important state task.
