From the beginning of the 1980s, the destructive
religious and political ideology of Islamism began to penetrate actively
the territory of Russia under external influence. Its adherents expanded
and strengthened their influence, using from outside support and
actively used extremist and terrorist methods to achieve power under
the guise of adherence to the Muslim faith. At the same time, Islamism
shows a high degree of adaptation to the counter-measures used against
it. In this regard, it seems relevant to pay attention to those areas in
which counteraction to Islamism in Russia has areas of improvement,
and in what ways the implementation of them is possible.
