Factors of the Spread of Youth Extremism in the Context of the Transforming Russian Realities

The purpose of this study was to study the factors of the spread of youth extremism in the context of the transforming Russian realities. The development of information and communication technologies and the processes taking place in the State, which have an adverse impact on the social and economic situation of citizens, were among the main factors in the spread of this phenomenon. The objectives of the study are to analyze the causes of youth extremism. The study looked at factors such as the economic crises that have plagued Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union, which naturally encourages young people to find a wide variety of ways of earning, most often illegal; social factors; family relationships; the predominance of material values over spiritual ones. Conclusions: in order to solve the problem of the spread of youth extremism, the state must implement a policy of counteraction in several directions. It is necessary to support parents who, due to the unstable economic situation in the country, devote most of their time not to raising children, but to earning money for family support. It is necessary to develop new methods of patriotic education of children, based on love for their homeland and the focus of their thinking on strengthening the country's influence on the world stage. Law enforcement agencies must prevent and eradicate extremism. Further training of teachers and teachers is also necessary to teach them how to eradicate extremist behaviour among young children at the primary level. Extremism is the biggest problem of the 21st century, not only in Russia, but throughout the world. It was imperative to join forces with other countries in addressing the problem. In this case, the time for finding solutions will be reduced, and their effectiveness will increase several times.
