Abstract

The article discusses opposition to extremism in modern Russia. We have to admit the fact that, along with the positive characteristics of the younger generation, alarming symptoms of social and political immaturity began to appear; loss of national cultural identity; individualism and egocentrism; deviant behavior, militant nationalism; diversification of cultural and spiritual values, lack of life perspectives and self-actualization. Therefore, special attention is paid to the processes of integrating youth into the social life of society. The analysis of documentary materials shows that for the period from 1993 to 2015. inclusively adopted a number of Decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation on issues of reforming youth policy. The reasons that lead to the formation of antisocial and extreme groups are shown. The emergence of an all-new subcultural youth organization of an asocial orientation is an unconditional relapse caused by the lack of a program to prevent extremist attitudes among the younger generation that is adapted to modern socio-cultural and economic conditions. The tendencies of students’ perception of the problems of extremism and interfaith tolerance in Russia are manifested in the fact that the majority of the population consider extremism a negative, unacceptable and condemned phenomenon. At the same time, the growth of extremist attitudes is possible, depending on the political situation and the intensification of the struggle for power of ethnopolitical movements.
