Abstract
The purpose of this study is to study the ways of emergence and measures to counteract political extremism that has developed in the Russian Federation. Statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia notes a constant increase in crimes of this kind. At the same time, the legislation of the Russian Federation does not give a clear definition of what constitutes extremism. Because of this, a large number of disputes arise among scientists, there are works studying this issue, disputes in the interpretation of the act occur at court sessions.
It is established that radical views are often formed in a society where citizens are deprived of the opportunity to use the right to vote legally. The more the state suppresses the opposition, the more tension in society grows, radical movements arise that can attract attention to public problems by force. The aggravation of the situation can also occur with an active, aggressive foreign policy. In this regard, political extremism is an urgent problem.
Having analyzed the foreign policy situation over the past 10 years, we can conclude that the world community is changing its structure. This is also evidenced by long-term sanctions against the Russian Federation, attempts to isolate it from international relations's withdrawal from the Council of Europe, a sharp change in the political course of Ukraine, the unwillingness of many countries to recognize Crimea, Zaporozhe and Kherson regions, Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics as Russian territory. With instability in the foreign policy sphere, certain tensions arise within society, new political parties and currents appear in the country that may have radical views, and there is an increase in extremist sentiments. Meanwhile, extremist organizations are skillfully taking advantage of the growing discontent of citizens, socio-economic problems and political tensions.
