Countering extremism in the context of Russia’s migration policy

Modern extremism is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, which exists in various forms in almost all countries. The natural nature of extremism is associated with public reaction to social processes. The state pays close attention to the problems of the development of extremist manifestations. In recent years, the problems of the spread of extremist behavior among migrants have become significantly more relevant. In this regard, many discussions arise regarding the effectiveness of existing mechanisms of anti-extremist activity. The purpose of the presented study is to analyze current issues of combating extremism in the context of Russia's migration policy. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that in modern realities, taking into account migration processes in the context of improving anti-extremist activities is of particular importance, since, on the one hand, migrants are able to increase the risks of developing extremist manifestations on the territory of the Russian Federation, on the other hand, interethnic relations are transformed in one way or another within the framework of migration, which also affects the public perception of such phenomena as extremism. Attention is focused on certain promising areas for improving the existing mechanisms for combating extremism. The special importance of preventive and warning activities is noted, which can minimize both the negative perception of migration processes in Russian society as a whole and specifically influence the spread of extremist ideas and views among migrants.
