The paper deals with the notions «information extremism», «information terrorism», their classification is provided, the forms of manifestation are proposed. The purpose is to find out the specifics of these notions. The study is urgent because subjects of information terrorism and extremism having various mass media at their disposal can impose their attitudes and ideas on the masses in different countries of the world. Information extremism is often considered together with PR-technologies, propaganda and other kinds of linguistic manipulation of the audience. As for information extremism, there is only one general aim, i. e. obtaining power over people's minds, recruiting new members to the extremist organization or sending the masses into a panic. It is seen as a preparation stage for other types of extremism, providing favorable conditions for distribution and acceptance of extremist ideas and ideals. Information terrorism is implemented in the field including different attitudes and ideas: political, philosophical, legal, esthetic, religious etc., i. e. in the area of the battle of ideas. Dozens of thousands of today's websites and web-portals are actively used by extremists and terrorists. Having accounts in social networks they can recruit new followers and conduct propaganda of radicalism more easily. Information extremism and terrorism in all their manifestations should be classified as enormously destructive crimes with significant influence on human minds and society. The efforts made by governments are not always efficient to monitor and neutralize websites used by extremists and terrorists. The struggle against information extremism and terrorism is a priority of the world leaders. To overcome this evil international cooperation is required.

The article deals with the problems of terrorist acts coverage by the Russian media, informational counter-terrorism and formation of anti-terrorist consciousness. The relevance of the study is explained by the fact that terrorism, being a socially dangerous phenomenon that openly demonstrates violence and intimidation towards the public, aims at producing a certain informational effect, which terrorists consider necessary. Therefore, improving the mechanisms of counter-terrorism, including informing the public, is of vital importance. In this relation, mass media should be viewed as both a means of influencing collective consciousness and a tool of information transfer via verbal communication. The article describes the role of mass media in the tragical events of the early XX century in Russia, as well as their missteps and mistakes. The author also analyzes social realia of the present and notes that the contemporary terrorists thrive on publicity. Therefore, those terrorists who do not have access to broadcasting will not get coverage of their actions, which will lead to a considerable decrease in the number of attacks. The author states the necessity of coordinated actions of the authorities, the public and the media aimed at developing a single policy to prevent terrorists from using mass media. Meanwhile, the constitutional principle of freedom of speech should be a priority. The article proposes recommendations on how to increase the efficiency of the media in the sphere of counter-terrorism, and emphasizes their role in forming anti-terrorist consciousness.
