Abstract:
Abstract: This article analyzes the current state of prevention and control of the spread of extremist and terrorist ideology in the Russian Federation. Combating these phenomena has become highly relevant in recent years due to a number of factors, ranging from the escalation of geopolitical conflicts to the influence of information and digitalization processes on the dynamics of the development of unlawful behavior of an extremist and terrorist nature. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that the organization and implementation of prevention and control of the spread of violent ideology are the basis for effective anti-extremist and counter-terrorism activities, since this function is focused on the preliminary influence on the processes of the emergence, formation, and development of illegal ideas and views, including their implementation. Despite the fact that this function receives close attention from the state, entities with the corresponding potential (civil society institutions, public associations, individuals) are far from fully involved in the prevention and control of extremism and terrorism. It is noted that the effectiveness of preventive and warning measures applied should be regularly assessed for further improvement and the elimination of quantitative approaches to their organization and implementation.
