Abstract

The study is based on the information dated 2002 and 2006-2007 and considers the problem of extremism among young people. The article checks the working hypothesis that the youth`s extremism takes the radical form in terms of social uncertainty of modern Russian society. The authors report that the extremist mood is basically typical for the students of the graduating class of school and residents of rural area and megacities. The negative potential of the youth`s extremism aims at migrants.
