On the prosecutor's counteraction to extremism

The prosecutor's counteraction to extremism is independent in nature. It is one of the preventive activities of the prosecutor's office that results from the exercise of its functions of prosecutor's supervision. The main specificity lies in the fact that this activity covers the prevention of extremism in cases that do not constitute criminal elements, primarily on the part of persons included in the subject of prosecutor's supervision. In addition to the preventive nature and functional conditionality, the prosecutor's counteraction to extremism is characterised by a high degree of efficiency. The use of a wide arsenal of prosecutor's response tools allows to quickly identify and respond to virtually any manifestation of extremism in the public, state and economic sphere. At the same time, which is quite important, the response, unlike other competent authorities' counteraction, is always legal in nature. The prevention of extremist activities by the prosecutor's supervision is multifaceted. The arsenal of capabilities of the prosecutor's office is very wide: from the use of traditional supervisory means to the provision to the prosecutor of special additional powers aimed at preventing, suppressing and eliminating manifestations of extremism.
