Вековой юбилей Октябрьской революции дает повод рассмотреть ряд проблем, связанных с ролью и значением террора в ее развитии. При этом автор аргументирует свои оценки и выводы ссылками на известные факты, суждения участников и свидетелей событий – как вождей и сторонников революции, так и их противников, а также на обобщенные результаты современных исследований. В статье делается упор на необходимость объективного подхода к их анализу и соотнесению. Революци-онный терроризм политически разнороден. Его широко использовали все политические движения, участвовавшие в революции и Гражданской войне в России: «красные», «белые», «зеленые», «розовые», каждое из которых несет свою долю ответственности за неисчислимые жертвы террора. Автор подчеркивает актуальность урока столетней истории Октябрьской революции – террор несовместим с подлинной свободой и социальной справедливостью. The centenary of the October revolution gives reason to consider a number of issues connected with the role and impact of terror in its development. The author bases his evaluation and assessments by reference to famous facts, opinions of the participants and witnesses of the events – both leaders and the followers of the revolution as well as their opponents and also the generalized results of contemporary researches. The article emphasizes the necessity of an objective approach to the analysis and correlation. The revolutionary terror is politically heterogeneous. It was widely used by all political movements participating in the Civil war in Russia: the Reds, the Whites, the Greens, and the Pinks each responsible for the numerous victims of the terror. The author points to the urgency of the lesson given by the October revolution – terror is incompatible with genuine freedom and social justice.

На протяжении культурно-исторической эволюции происходит посте-пенная виртуализация насилия – изменяется пропорция его физических (особенно смертоносных) и нефизических форм. Данный процесс обеспечивается возможностью отсроченного психического ответа и феноменом переадресации агрессии. Автор доказывает, что относительное сокращение смертоносного насилия обеспечивалось его последовательным вытеснением в искусственно созданные виртуальные пространства. Throughout cultural and historical evolution, a gradual virtualization of vio-lence takes place accompanied by the reducing rates of its physical (especially le-thal) and non-physical manifestations. This process is supported by the opportunities of a delayed mental response and the phenomenon of redirected aggression. The author argues that the relative reduction of mortal violence has been provided by its successive shift into the artificially created virtual spaces. https://www.socionauki.ru/journal/articles/1263226/

– Уточните, пожалуйста, что вы все-таки считаете образцом и гарантом стабильного существования планетарной цивилизации в будущем: национальные государства, наднациональные империи или конфессиональные сообщества? In the interviewers’ view, the article looks contradictory and confusing and its premises and conclusions are counterproductive. The authors defend their position in polemic context, so the readers are supposed to continue the discussion.

This paper aims to examine the state of violent youth extremism in Russia, and discuss methods to prevent it. We present the results of a survey of experts (teachers, psychologists, social workers and police officers). Data were collected using a specific questionnaire that was developed with the help of experts. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used. We counted the frequency of answers choice. Textual information has been processed by means of content analysis. This study shows the behavioural patterns of youth extremism, its causes, and common methods of prevention. The psychological benefits of participation in extremist groups are discussed. The study provides evidence that current prevention is not based on an understanding of the roots of extremism. The findings are considered within the context of the current situation in Russian society and some directions for improved prevention are presented. Nowadays in Russia, there are enough institutions that constitute the system of violent youth extremism prevention, but goals of prevention, as well methods need to be changed.

The article sketches the main theoretical approaches that account for the phenomenon of youth extremism. It compares the theoretical description of the causes of extremism to the opinions of specialists in its prevention in the educational environment. It explores the limited nature of perceptions that a leading role is played by ideology in the formation of extremist behavior and emphasizes the inadequate effectiveness of preventive measures that consist solely of cultural and educational measures. A number of directions of preventive work in educational organizations are proposed.
