To responsibility question for the promotion of terrorism

Despite the political changes in the modern world, the threat of terrorism remains. One of the forms of unlawful dispute resolution is terrorism, which allows obtaining the necessary resources, including in terms of decisions of state authorities. In the context of the stated problem, the process of spreading terrorist ideology, which poses a serious threat to modern peace and security, is of particular importance. Russian criminal law provides for liability for a number of actions related to the spread of terrorist ideology and the maintenance of the practice of using violent methods. The purpose of this article is to analyze the current criminal law governing the process of bringing to justice for the propaganda of terrorism in Russia. The author comes to the conclusion that the current normative provision governing responsibility for this crime is incorrect and needs to be changed in order to increase the effectiveness of counterterrorist activities in Russia. Attention is focused on the need for a significant change in Art. 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. It seems promising to supplement the list of qualifying signs of propaganda of terrorism by the commission of this crime against a minor, as well as using the official position. These aggravating circumstances are singled out as the most dangerous signs of the propaganda of terrorism in the modern world, which seems necessary to be necessarily reflected in the Russian criminal legislation.
