Changes in the Policy of the Russian Federation in Relation to the International Terrorist Threat at the Beginning of the XXI Century
( Pp. 138-144)

The article examines the approach of the Russian Federation to the growth of terrorism affecting international relations over the past two decades. The article assesses the impact of this threat on the security of our country, on the international situation, and analyzes the decisions taken by the Russian leadership on this issue. The author attempts to consider and describe the influence of the Russian Federation on the ongoing domestic and foreign policy events related to terrorism and religious extremism, designated by the President of the Russian Federation. Attention is also paid to the reasons changing this approach to security in the Russian Federation over the past twenty years. The reasons for the development of new systems of countermeasures by Russia, its entry into a new era of relations with other states, despite their differences, are considered. In turn, the author wants to draw attention to such questions as: “Why is Russia forced to respond to challenges and threats and constantly improve its legislative framework and what changes have taken place in the field of its information security?”. Official documents, United Nations resolutions, sources and scientific works are analyzed in the context of the approach to ensuring security against terrorism. The study shows that the number and quality of threats will continue to increase as terrorist groups gain experience and hone their skills. The fight against terror is possible only in the long term with high-quality international cooperation between States and in the absence of double standards.
