The relevance of the topic is dictated by the fact that in recent decades, the threat to international security emanating from terrorism has increased many times. Terrorist organizations have become full-fledged subjects of politics on a par with political parties. In addition, enormous power and resources are concentrated in the hands of terrorist groups. Terrorist activity has become the usual way of leading a political struggle, expressing social protest. In addition, terrorism has become a tool in economic competition. Each terrorist action entails more and more human casualties. It breeds instability, fear, hatred, and distrust in society. The authors pay special attention to counter-terrorism activities in the North Caucasus Region.
