Abstract
Countering violent extremism and ideology of terrorism is an important component of the Russian national security. The eradication of terrorism depends on the quality of public education and social security, because criminal and terrorist communities seek to use any signs of social conflict and political crisis in the international system to involve the least socially protected citizens (young people as a rule) in the system of reproduction of radical violence. The formation of a high political and legal culture of modern Russian society should be the next stage of the campaign to counter the ideology of terrorism. Effective peacebuilding at the regional level, as well as sustainable development of the world community as a whole, is provided with constructive political projects that create an atmosphere of patriotism and confidence in the achievement of success by all active society members. The ideology of terrorism, on the contrary, is a destructive political technology that creates uncertainty, distrust and disunity in a society. Undermining the sustainable development of the state, violent extremism that engenders terrorist acts must meet with effective opposition from law enforcement agencies; with the most dangerous ideologists of terrorism becoming a legitimate target for military operations. However, state authorities should neutralize the terrorist threat by means of rational political force, in many cases relying on counter-terrorism propaganda, high quality of education and social partnership with those institutions of civil society that are interested in eradicating the threat of terrorism.
