The author examines the legal, political, socio-economic and other measures taken by the Russian Federation in matters of ensuring stability and security on the territory of the Eurasian continent.

The purpose of the work is to identify and critically comprehend the gaps and problems that have developed in the expanses of Eurasia in countering threats of an extremist and terrorist nature, as well as to formulate proposals for improving approaches to the formation of a unified Eurasian system of international security capable of promptly responding to emerging challenges and crisis phenomena. caused by the activities of terrorist and extremist organizations.

The author comes to several conclusions. Firstly, the activities of the Russian Federation to counter extremism and terrorism in the Eurasian space should be of a preventive nature, based on a systematic analysis of ongoing processes, forecasting threats based on the generalization of the data obtained. Such analytical activity is possible only with the formation of a system for the exchange of information, the consolidation of the collected data and their prompt transfer between the countries of the Eurasian region of our planet.

Secondly, successful counteraction to extremism and terrorism is possible only if these threats are adequately perceived by the states participating in international efforts to ensure peace and security. It is impossible to ensure domestic security and international security with an active fight against terrorism, but the absence of a full-fledged counteraction to threats of an extremist nature, which in the future will create a breeding ground for further terror.

Thirdly, successful countering extremism and terrorism goes beyond just law enforcement and military tasks. An important aspect of the fight against these threats is the elimination of the causes and conditions conducive to their spread. Such conditions include socio-economic instability, low level of education, lack of information literacy of the population, unemployment and a number of other factors, unresolved ethnic, religious, cultural and other conflicts.
