Abstract
The article presents the author’s view on the interpretation of illegal, violent acts motivated by hatred or enmity, based on the biological characteristics of an individual or social group, as well as promoting the superiority or inferiority of a person on the basis of sexual (gender) identification. The authors of the article, based on the analysis of positions, scientific approaches of Russian and some foreign scientists, the practice of applying the norms of criminal and administrative-tort legislation of Russia and foreign countries, the content of sites and pages of social groups in the Internet network, consider the essence and content of gender-oriented (gender or sexual) extremism, formulate its definition, and reveal its features. The article is of theoretical and practical interest for further research and improvement of the mechanism of countering extremism. The results of the research could be used by teachers and students of secondary and higher educational institutions in preparation for classes of anti-extremist orientation.
