Gabieva S.M., Pirbudagova D. S. Legal regulations and practice of countermeasures against extremism in Russia and abroad

Abstract: This article reviews the issues of countermeasures against extremism in the Russian Federation and overseas, analyzes foreign legislation, characterizes the authorities who exercise preventive measures in this field. The research was conducted based on the example of USA, UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan. The analysis of the foreign experience in fighting extremism demonstrates that many countries have already developed skills of countermeasures against such dangerous socio-political phenomenon. The authors attempt to combine this experience with the purpose of using it for further improvements to Russia’s legislation in the area of counteracting extremist activity. The scientific novelty is expressed in the complex approach towards examining the international law in this regard, as well as the opportunities for implementing the constitutional legal norms of foreign countries into the Russian legislation that would be aimed at countering extremist activity. The authors made the following conclusions: a special attention should be paid to the forming of legislation base, which provides main rights of the citizens in a case of intergovernmental crises; special organizations, which acquire information and devise preventative measures should be established.
