The novelty of the article is seen in the concretization of some problems and ways to solve them. Among the problems of an organizational nature are the following: the activities of the Internal Affairs Directorate in the direction of countering extremism are not targeted; not all structural divisions have guidelines for countering extremism; the interaction of state power with other bodies is not always systemic (permanent); control over the activities of informal youth associations is carried out, not always properly.
