“On ensuring the activities of the working group of the State Council of the Russian Federation on the issue of the national policy of the Russian Federation in modern conditions. Draft report of the working group of the presidium of the state council of the russian federation on

July 19, 2017Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Regional Policy and Problems of the North and the Far East Nikolay Kharitonov took part in the second meeting of the working group of the State Council of the Russian Federation on the development of the Russian Far East.

The meeting of the working group was attended by deputies of the State Duma, representatives of ministries , departments, regions, businesses, experts from the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, as well as representatives of public organizations. The event was held under the leadership of the Aide to the President of the Russian Federation Igor Levitin and Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation - Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev.

The meeting participants discussed further measures for the development of the Far East.

According to Igor Levitin, an extensive report is being prepared for the State Council, which will be formed taking into account the proposals of the regions, ministries and experts.

“We need to determine what is lacking in the regions of the Far East to increase competitiveness,” he said, instructing the leaders of the Far Eastern constituent entities of the Russian Federation to get involved in the development of the document as much as possible.

To date, the first edition of the report has been formed, which analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the macroregion, its potential, the existing mechanisms for supporting business and human development. Proposals for the further development of the Far East were also made. Experts believe that it is necessary, first of all, to create a favorable investment environment, strengthen export support, and work on the development of social infrastructure.

Existing support measures, according to Yuri Trutnevis not enough for tangible changes in the standard of living in the Far East.

“More than 15 laws have been adopted for the development of the macroregion, about 20 priority development territories have been created, and we plan to commission another 85 enterprises by the end of the year. But these numbers are good only for reporting, because so far the residents of the subjects do not feel any visible changes. This means that the existing support measures are not enough, ”stated the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District.

In his speech Nikolay Kharitonov drew attention to the fact that the draft report completely forgot about the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East.

“In our opinion, it is imperative to reflect in the report the state support of the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East .

So far, the report has made little emphasis only on the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. And the indigenous small peoples live not only in Chukotka, ”the Chairman of the Committee emphasized.

In early July 2017, the State Duma Committee on Regional Policy and Problems of the North and the Far East held a visiting round table in Sakhalin. The problems and prospects of traditional nature management of the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East were discussed. "The recommendations of the round table will be sent to the working group as well," Nikolay Kharitonov.

“In all speeches, it was emphasized that while developing the Far East, we must take into account the rights of indigenous small-numbered peoples to traditional environmental management and economic activities. In the new model of development of the Far East, a special place should be given to the preservation and improvement of conditions for the indigenous peoples to lead a traditional way of life, to improve the level and quality of their life, " Nikolay Kharitonov.

According to Igor Levitin, all the proposals made will be taken into account in the further preparation of the report to the next Presidium of the State Council of the Russian Federation.

Draft Report of the Working Group of the Presidium of the State Council of the Russian Federation on Counteracting manifestations of Religious Extremism in the Russian Federation dated October 30, 2002 No.
"On improving the activities of state and public institutions to counter manifestations of religious extremism in the Russian Federation"
The problem of the spread of political and religious extremism in the Russian Federation against the background of recent global geopolitical changes is becoming one of the key factors contributing to the weakening of Russian statehood and the growth of instability in society.
The Russian public is increasingly aware of the danger that extremism poses to the social well-being of citizens.
The growth of extremist manifestations accompanies and strengthens separatist sentiments in certain constituent entities of the Russian Federation and is aimed at creating a favorable opportunity for extremists to realize their goals and objectives, including by terrorist methods.
Extremism in all its manifestations leads to the violation of the rights and freedoms of citizens, undermines public security, state integrity and international authority of Russia, poses a real threat to the foundations of the constitutional order, interethnic and interfaith peace.
The main directions and priorities of the state policy of the Russian Federation in countering political and religious extremism are defined in the Concept of National Security of the Russian Federation, approved by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of January 10, 2000 No. 24.
First of all, they consist in maintaining the stability of the constitutional system, institutions of state power, in ensuring civil peace and national harmony, territorial integrity, the unity of the legal space, law and order, neutralizing the causes and conditions conducive to the emergence of political and religious extremism, ethnic separatism and their consequences - social , interethnic and religious conflicts, acts of terrorism.
The solution of the tasks set is ensured by the relevant state authorities in cooperation with public and religious institutions.
Until recently, the legislation of the Russian Federation did not contain a legal definition of extremism and extremist activity. The Federal Law “On Counteracting Extremist Activity” has eliminated this gap and contains specific criteria for this concept, excluding its arbitrary interpretation.
According to the Law, in relation to religious associations, extremism is understood as the activities of religious associations in planning, organizing, preparing and performing actions aimed at:
violent changes in the foundations of the constitutional order and violation of the integrity of the Russian Federation;
undermining the security of the Russian Federation;
the creation of illegal armed groups;
carrying out terrorist activities;
incitement of racial, national or religious hatred, as well as social hatred associated with violence or calls for violence;
humiliation of national dignity;
carrying out mass riots, hooliganism and acts and acts of vandalism based on ideological, political, racial, national or religious hatred or enmity against any social group;
propaganda of the exclusivity, superiority or inferiority of citizens on the basis of their attitude to religion, social, racial, national, religious or linguistic affiliation.
These acts are inherent in certain religious associations and are manifested in religious fanaticism, fundamentalism, radicalism, the use of religious symbols and phraseology for political and other purposes.

Assessment of threats to national security associated with manifestations of religious extremism

The trend towards the growth of extremism on a religious basis is largely due to the existing contradictions in the relationship both between confessions and within them, the growth of religious expansion from other states.
Religious expansion from other states led to a significant growth in new religious movements. The number of religious denominations registered in the Russian Federation has increased over the decade from 20 to 69. The intensive growth of new religious formations upsets the ethnic and confessional balance that has developed in the country, causing an increase in inter-confessional rivalry and discontent among the bulk of the population.
The activity in our country of various branches of foreign religious, charitable and other organizations, which formally does not contradict the provisions of the current Russian legislation, but in fact often contributes to manifestations of tension on religious grounds, is of concern.
Recently, the Roman Catholic Church has stepped up its missionary activity in the traditionally Orthodox territories of the Russian Federation. Tensions between the Moscow Patriarchate and the Vatican intensified in connection with the decision of Pope John Paul II to raise the status of the four administrative structures of the Roman Catholic Church to the level of dioceses headed by a metropolitan and to declare the territory of Russia a "church province". Active work is underway to strengthen their parishes, increase their number, persuade individual priests and representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church to convert to Catholicism. As a result, the confrontation with the Russian Orthodox Church is intensifying.
Protestant religious associations are expanding their sphere of influence in almost all regions of the country. At the beginning of 2002, 4,823 Protestant religious organizations were registered in Russia, with a steady trend in their quantitative growth. It should be noted that a significant percentage of the followers of the above associations are young people. Using broad financial opportunities, foreign Protestant centers create "subsidiary" organizations in various regions of our country, are actively involved in propaganda activities. Under the guise of providing humanitarian assistance, many new Protestant organizations form in various groups of the population a position of self-alienation in relation to the Russian state, the folk traditions, way of life, and culture that have developed over the centuries. It is a matter of serious concern that the above trends are especially evident in the border regions.
The most active expansion of new Protestant organizations is noted in the Far Eastern Federal District, where the total number of foreign religious organizations has now reached 800 communities. More than half of them have not passed state registration. More than 60 percent of the religious structures operating in the region are funded from South Korea and the United States. At the same time, in a number of regions of the region, new Protestant religious organizations, whose headquarters are located abroad, have noticeably pressed the positions of traditional Russian confessions.
Disrespectful attitude to Russian traditional confessions contributes to the formation of preconditions for extremist manifestations of a religious nature, including at the everyday level, incitement of religious hatred and antisocial actions on religious grounds, affects the state of interstate relations.
Representatives of foreign pseudo-religious communities (Jehovah's Witnesses, Moon Unification Church, Church of Scientology, etc.), religious groups based on various oriental beliefs, followers of Satanism form branched structures that often carry out illegal activities. In a number of communities under their influence, religious fanaticism is being spread, damage is caused to the moral, mental and physical health of their members. At the direction of the leading centers, their representatives are making attempts to infiltrate the structures of government bodies, the army, law enforcement agencies in order to collect information, influence the adoption of important political decisions, and spread the ideology of permissiveness and egoism.
Extremist manifestations in the activities of some Islamic religious associations cause serious concern.
With the active influence of foreign missionaries and special services on the territory of the Russian Federation, radical and politicized currents of Islam that are unusual for Russian Muslims, primarily Wahhabism, are spreading.
An analysis of the content of the activities of foreign Islamic extremist centers indicates that their plans for Russia include opposing the interests of Russian Muslims to the interests of the state and society, encouraging the socio-political elite of regions with a predominantly Muslim population to create conditions for secession from the Russian Federation and the creation of new state formations focused on the countries of the Islamic world.
The leaders of some nationalist and separatist movements are trying to play the Islamic factor for their own purposes, which introduces destabilizing elements into the socio-political situation in a number of regions of the country, especially in the North Caucasus, whose peoples are trying to impose an uncharacteristic ideological and religious choice.
In addition, the existing confrontation between Russian Muslim leaders impedes the pooling of the organizational and material resources of Islam in Russia and is a destabilizing factor that reduces the effectiveness of efforts to counter religious extremism.
The spiritual administrations of Muslims in Russia, for the most part fragmented, are often unable to effectively resist the organized offensive of Islamic extremism. In a number of cases, they find themselves in material and other dependence on the clerical circles of the sponsoring states and, in fact, turn into agents of their interests.
Under the pretext of "reviving the cultural, historical and moral values \u200b\u200bof Islam," extremist organizations with headquarters in individual states of the Near and Middle East do not stop at significant material costs to consolidate their political and economic positions in strategically important regions of Russia, trying to impart religious feelings to Muslims anti-Russian orientation, inspire conflicts between representatives of different directions of Islam. Supporters of radical Islam, taking a tough stance against the Muslim clergy of Russia, accuse them of deviating from the canons of Islam, pushing them away from the leadership of communities by all possible measures, including physical destruction.
The most serious consequences of the expansion of Islamic extremism were manifested in the North Caucasus, where complex political, socio-economic, national, and confessional problems were intertwined. In the Southern Federal District, there is a real threat to the national security, integrity and sovereignty of the country, manifested in the form of aggressive separatism, building its strategy on the basis of the militant nationalism of certain ethnic groups of the population and the manifestations of extremism on a religious basis introduced into the region.
The forces of international terrorism direct their efforts to destabilize the socio-political situation in Russia, to intensify the activities of extremist organizations in certain regions of the Russian Federation for these purposes, under the guise of religious, primarily Islamic slogans. The aggression of international terrorists on Dagestan in 1999, terrorist acts in the cities of Buinaksk, Volgodonsk, Kaspiysk, Pyatigorsk, house bombings in 1999 and the seizure of hostages in a theater complex in Moscow in October 2002 were committed by carriers of the ideas of radical Islam. In the Karachay-Cherkess and Kabardino-Balkarian republics, preparations were made for the seizure of power, including by armed methods, by persons who consider themselves to be a religious extremist organization "Jamaat". The growth of extremist manifestations is facilitated by attempts on the part of a number of foreign Islamic organizations to intensify the spread of radical forms of Islamic ideology on the territory of Russia, including by financing the activities of extremist groups. The attempts of extremists to expand their social base, primarily at the expense of young people, pose a particular danger.
To this end, foreign emissaries are directing efforts to form their own personnel reserve in Russia, organize the direction of young Russian citizens to study in foreign Islamic centers. According to experts, currently more than 2 thousand Russian citizens study in Islamic educational institutions in Algeria, Turkey, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia, Pakistan, Malaysia and other countries of the Arab world. The total number of Russian citizens who have been trained in foreign Islamic educational institutions over the past decade has exceeded 20 thousand.
Most of the Russians studying there, having been trained in the spirit of attitudes alien to Russian Islam, upon their return serve as conductors of extremism and radicalism. In particular, many Russian followers of Wahhabism have been trained abroad. Already by now there has been a tendency to oust the loyal and law-abiding clergy by younger and more educated graduates of foreign educational centers. This not only complicates state-Islamic relations, but also poses a threat to the country's national security interests.
The forces of international terrorism, facing powerful, systemic opposition from the federal forces in the Chechen Republic and suffering serious losses there, are trying to transfer their criminal activities to other regions of the country. Confirmation of this is the clashes between law enforcement agencies and illegal armed groups at the end of September 2002 in the Republic of Ingushetia.
A serious threat to the country's national security is posed by attempts to impose on Russian society the idea of \u200b\u200ba civilizational conflict and supposedly insoluble contradictions between Christians and Muslims.
In addition, one of the global consequences of the events of September 11 in the United States, as well as the events of October 2002 in Moscow, was the widespread growth of Islamophobia, which is fueled by some media. Neither Islam as a religion, nor Muslims as a confessional group, are and cannot be held responsible for such actions.
Analysis of the current state of threats to the foundations of the constitutional order of the Russian Federation shows that they are complex in nature, affecting the vital interests of the individual, society and the state. The specificity and direction of these threats predetermine the main directions of strengthening and improving the national security system, including the protection of the foundations of the constitutional order of the Russian Federation.

Activities of state authorities to counter religious extremism

Taking into account the scale of threats associated with the spread of political and religious extremism, the state is taking measures of both legislative and law enforcement nature.
On March 23, 1995, Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 310 "On measures to ensure coordinated actions of state authorities in the fight against manifestations of fascism and other forms of political extremism in the Russian Federation" was adopted.
On September 26, 1997 the Federal Law "On freedom of conscience and on religious associations" was adopted.
Presidential Decree No. 6987 of November 15, 1998 approved the “Comprehensive Action Plan to Counter Islamic Extremism” and the “List of Priority Measures to Counter and Spread Radical Islamic Movements on the Territory of the Russian Federation in 1998-2000”.
These were the first normative legal documents that identified the real threats to Russia's national security from political radicalism, nationalism and separatism, acting under the banner of Islam and enjoying the support of external anti-Russian forces. They expanded the legal framework for combating manifestations of religious extremism.
On January 10, 2000, the National Security Concept of the Russian Federation was approved by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation.
Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 25, 2001 No. 629 approved the Federal target program "Formation of attitudes of tolerant consciousness and prevention of extremism in Russian society (2001 - 2005)"
On July 25, 2002, Federal Law No. 114-FZ “On Counteracting Extremist Activities” was adopted.
Many constituent entities of the Russian Federation have also adopted normative legal acts aimed at combating political and religious extremism.
In 1999, the Republic of Dagestan adopted the Law “On the Prohibition of Wahhabist and. other extremist activities on the territory of the Republic of Dagestan ”. However, despite the fact that the adoption of such a legislative act was quite legitimate and understandable in those conditions, an analysis of the law enforcement practice of this law shows that for three years not a single person was brought to justice under its articles.
The Parliament of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic adopted a law "On the prohibition of extremist religious activity and liability for offenses related to the violation of religious activity."
In Karachay-Cherkessia there is a law “On Counteraction to Political and Religious Extremism”, in the Republic of Adygea - “On freedom of conscience and religious associations”, in the Republic of Ingushetia - a law “On regulation of certain issues of religious and missionary activity in the Republic of Ingushetia” The Governor of the Stavropol Territory issued a decree "On measures to counter political, national and religious extremism in the Stavropol Territory."
Countering religious extremism is becoming an urgent problem today and requires government bodies at all levels to take decisive, effective measures and concerted actions aimed at preventing and suppressing manifestations of any of its forms.
This work is long-term in nature and is built taking into account the above regulatory framework. Particular attention is paid to those public associations and religious organizations whose activities contradict the statutory goals and objectives and are aimed at violently changing the foundations of the constitutional system, violating the integrity of the state, undermining the country's internal security, strengthening separatism, creating illegal armed formations, inciting national and religious hatred.
In 2000-2002, the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the FSB of Russia, the State Customs Committee of Russia and the Ministry of the Press of Russia carried out checks on the implementation of Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 310 and legislative acts aimed at combating manifestations of fascism and other forms of political extremism. The results of the audits are widely reviewed in extended collegiums or coordination meetings.
An Interdepartmental Group has been set up for the implementation of legislation aimed at combating manifestations of fascism and political extremism. Measures were discussed and outlined to strengthen countering political and religious extremism.
According to the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation, on the facts of national, racial and religious enmity (initiated under Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) in 1998 there were 25 cases in proceedings, in 1999 - 44 cases, in 2000 - 37 cases, in 2001 . - 39 cases; for consideration in the courts were sent: in 1998 - 5 cases, in 1999 - 9 cases, in 2000 - 6 cases, in 2001 - 5 cases. In 2002, 49 criminal cases were being investigated, 12 cases were sent to the courts (of which 3 have already been considered).
At the same time, the Federal Law "On Counteracting Extremist Activity", adopted in July 2002, is being put into practice very slowly. So far, only 2 cases of its practical implementation have been noted on the territory of Russia.
In July-September, the trials of the attempted coup d'etat in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic and Karachay-Cherkessia ended. All the defendants, who are included in the religious extremist organization "Jamaat", which have been operating in the republic since the beginning of the 90s, have been convicted.
As a result of coordinated measures taken by various departments, counter-propaganda activities were carried out to discredit the activities of the Tabligh missionaries. The activities of the Al-Ibrahim Saudi Foundation in Russia were curtailed, a number of its preachers were expelled from the country, branches of the Union of Muslims of Russia were terminated in 32 regions of Russia, and the registration of this organization was canceled in the Russian Ministry of Justice.
The FSB of Russia and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia carried out a set of measures to suppress actions on the territory of Russia, primarily in the North Caucasus, a number of extremist groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, Gray Wolves, Taliban " and etc.
In the Republic of Bashkortostan, attempts to create a new political organization of an extremist persuasion on the basis of the Union of Bashkir Youth were suppressed, the purpose of which was to defend the "sovereignty of Bashkortostan" and oppose the policy of the federal government to strengthen the state.
Work is underway to identify and suppress the activities on the territory of the Russian Federation of various kinds of totalitarian sects and destructive organizations. So, in the Astrakhan region, Sool Rait, a missionary of the Estonian Christian Church (Pentecostals), was identified and expelled from the country. He was in Russia in violation of the Law “On the procedure for leaving the Russian Federation and entering the Russian Federation” and illegally engaged in preaching work. The prosecutor's office of the Komi Republic revealed a number of violations of the Law "On freedom of conscience and religious associations" in the activities of the sect "Jehovah's Witnesses". According to the results of the check, the head of the Pechora branch of the sect Menshenin V.A. brought to administrative responsibility, the district overseers of the sect, the citizens of Germany, the Baldowski spouses were barred from entering Russia for a period of 5 years. In the Republic of Tatarstan this year, 14 foreigners were expelled from Russia, whose actions posed a threat of terrorism and extremism.
In the Far Eastern Federal District, a range of organizations has been identified in relation to which the justice authorities need to strengthen control, including during their registration. There are religious and pseudo-religious associations in the management system and structure of these organizations.
The distribution of newspapers, leaflets, literature and other materials aimed at promoting fascism, inciting ethnic and religious hatred, forcibly changing the constitutional order, and undermining the security of the state is suppressed. In 2000 - 2002 For violation of the requirements of Article 4 of the Law of the Russian Federation "On the Mass Media", the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Russia issued 40 warnings to the media. Including for inciting religious intolerance and hatred, official written warnings were issued to the newspapers Slavyanin, Erzyan Mastor, Uralskaya Zhizn, Kazachiy Krug, and Russian Community of Yekaterinburg. In their publications, these publications allowed purposeful propaganda of the superiority of one religion over another, rude attacks on citizens adhering to one faith or another, and mockery of the relics of churches. Unfortunately, the legislative norms in force at the time of issuing the warnings did not allow qualifying the actions of these editorial offices as extremist. The measures taken contributed to a decrease in the activity of extremist organizations.
A kind of "loophole" for the abuse of freedom of the media is the provision of Article 12 of the Law of the Russian Federation "On the Mass Media", according to which periodicals with a circulation of less than one thousand copies are exempt from registration. By not specifying the imprint of a small-circulation publication or by specifying fictitious imprint, producers have a real opportunity to avoid liability for using the media for the purpose of committing offenses, including those aimed at inciting ethnic, racial and religious hatred.
In countering extremism, the most important place belongs to the prevention of the spread of extremist ideology among various segments of the population, primarily among young people and adolescents who are most susceptible to extremist propaganda. At present, the state and society pay very little attention to this work, which is actively used by representatives of destructive organizations. It is necessary, together with the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Federation, local self-government bodies, public and religious associations, to ensure the adoption of measures to strengthen the prevention of neglect of minors, to counter the involvement of youth and adolescents in public and religious associations of extremist orientation.
In the system of public authorities, there is a shortage of experts and qualified personnel who are capable of solving urgent problems in this area of \u200b\u200bpublic relations at a modern level. In the training and retraining of such personnel, it is necessary to use the capabilities of the leading Russian VU Zov, both in Moscow and in other regions.
It is obvious that the task of establishing effective counteraction to manifestations of religious extremism in our country is hardly solvable without taking into account external factors that directly or indirectly contribute to the spread of this dangerous phenomenon, the development and implementation of a comprehensive system of measures designed to put a reliable barrier against this.
In 2001, at the initiative of Russia, a working group on tolerance issues was formed within the OSCE. Currently, consultations are underway on the issue of Russia's involvement in the implementation of the so-called. The program of the UN concerned structures, in the framework of which great attention is paid to the development of international cooperation on tolerance.
Close cooperation on this issue is being carried out with the Council of Europe (CoE), including in the framework of interaction with the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance and the Advisory Committee of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. The Council of Europe Secretariat is working on the practical aspects of the implementation of the initiative of Secretary General W. Schwimmer, approved by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in November 2001, "On the development of dialogue between religions and cultures in order to weaken the factors that give rise to terrorism."
Of great importance in the context of strengthening external contacts of the Russian Orthodox Church is the decision of its Holy Synod to transform the permanent delegation of the Moscow Patriarchate to the European Union into the Representation of the Moscow Patriarchate to European international organizations in Brussels.
The issues of countering religious extremism, proceeding from a common approach to the problem of new threats and challenges, require the joint efforts of the entire world community.
As part of partnerships with the largest and most influential centers of the modern world, including the United States, the European Union, China, India, Islamic states, a line is being pursued to develop reliable guarantees for the non-proliferation of religious extremism, relying on the central coordinating role of the UN and international law. This task logically fits into Russia's efforts to create a global system to counter new threats and challenges, which would include appropriate multilateral mechanisms of interaction, including early warning and prevention of emerging threats, a decisive and adequate response to their manifestations.
The approach to this problem of democratic European countries should serve as a reference point for the Russian Federation as well.
In this regard, the activities of extremist religious organizations abroad, especially in the Arab states, as well as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indonesia and others, require constant monitoring. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that such structures are actively functioning not only in the regions of their traditional influence, but also in such Western states as Great Britain, Italy and others, in which for their activity, despite the events of September 11, 2001 , the liberal regime is still largely preserved.
The situation in the Central Asian countries of the CIS needs special attention, in particular, in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, where such extremist-terrorist organizations as the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan and Hizb ut-Tahrir are actively making themselves known.
The situation in the Transcaucasian CIS states is also not easy. Although on the territory of Azerbaijan the activities of branches of a number of international Islamic organizations involved in the propaganda of ideas of fundamentalism are prohibited, nevertheless, this activity has led to the emergence of cells of "Wahhabis" in the northern and central regions of the country, the number of which, according to some information, reaches 7 thousand . man. As for Georgia, its territory is known to be used by international terrorists, Chechen bandit formations and religious extremists as a rear base for bandit raids and for carrying out ideological expansion into adjacent Russian regions. There is information about an increase in the number of adherents of "Wahhabism" in the areas of compact residence of Kist Chechens in Georgia, the opening of religious schools there.
On the issue of religious extremism, one should proceed from the fact that it is a long-term factor in world politics, and it is unlikely that it will be possible to overcome it, as well as the terrorist threat associated with it, in the foreseeable future. The main task is to prevent Russia from becoming the main target of terrorism under the Islamic flag. This task is in line with the continuation of Russia's well-balanced line on strict adherence to the principles of the UN Charter in the implementation of forceful actions in the context of countering international terrorism and extremism.
As mentioned above, in order to protect the rights and freedoms of man and citizen, the foundations of the constitutional system, and ensure the integrity and security of the Russian Federation, state authorities in recent years have taken certain measures to counteract manifestations of extremism on a religious basis. Among them, the adoption of the Federal Target Program "Formation of attitudes of tolerant consciousness and prevention of extremism in Russian society (2001-2005)", federal laws "On countering extremist activities" and "On amendments and additions to legislative the law "On Counteraction to Extremist Activity", legislative acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on countering extremism, including on a religious basis.
However, a certain positive effect obtained in the course of their implementation turns out to be inadequate to the acuteness of the problems associated with manifestations of religious extremism. As practice shows, a comprehensive approach to countering extremism is required, which would envisage measures not only of a regulatory and prohibitive, but also of a preventive nature. A certain place in the work to prevent such a dangerous socio-political phenomenon as extremism should be occupied by public institutions and religious associations.
It is advisable to analyze in the most careful way, taking into account the opinions of different parties, international experience, where the mechanism of state-church relations is slipping, and take the necessary management decisions in this area.
Despite the recent concrete steps taken to counteract the spread of religious extremism, primarily in the field of legislation, in practice, there is still inconsistency and disunity in the efforts of state authorities at all levels to create conditions for achieving intra- and interreligious harmony, as well as unsatisfactory interaction with leaders of religious confessions, including the Muslim clergy, which does not effectively resist the spread of religious extremism.
