The manifestations of extremism and terrorism in recent decades have been analyzed, taking into account statistical indicators for the Russian Federation, as well as the electoral campaigns in Ukraine and the Middle East. The specificity of transformations of factors, subjects and forms of political extremism in Russia in the 1990s and 2000s is revealed. It has been established that the manifestations of modern extremism and terrorism, as well as the methods and technologies of recruiting into prohibited groups, are becoming more sophisticated, and the phenomenon of extremism and terrorism itself poses a great threat to society. It is noted that the ideologists of extremism use all the technologies available in the modern information world for influencing the consciousness and subconscious of potential adherents of their organizations. Regardless of the form, goals, resources used, extremism inevitably acquires a political character, as it becomes one of the objects of application of political power, despite its cross-border character.

Prevention and counteraction to extremism should be carried out by law enforcement agencies, public organizations, and educational and cultural institutions. In the center of the system of counteraction to extremism and terrorism in modern Russia there should be ideological issues of preventive work with youth of all social groups.
