The issues that arise when the state implements criminal legal and organizational measures to counter extremist crimes in the context of radicalization and growing protest activity of the population are considered. Special attention is aid to changes in the system of anti-extremist legislation. The inconsistency of scientific approaches in understanding the nature of radicalization, protest activity, forms of manifestation of extremism, and the criminal legal classification of extremist crimes is noted. The need for the formation of new approaches to ensuring the protection of the constitutional order and national security of the Russian Federation is substantiated. It is recommended to rethink the approach to the existing system of measures to prevent extremist crimes. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop a new model of a rational transformative paradigm that will help improve the effectiveness of preventive measures to level the risks of escalation of social tension, radicalization and growth of protest activity of the population as significant determining factors of extremist crime, based on the rational interaction of the system of legal responsibility and the system of public institutions (“ balance of interests”).
