Abstract
Introduction. The work is devoted to the analysis of certain issues of legal regulation of administrative liability for offenses in the field of countering extremism. Based on the author’s understanding of these categories, the article attempts to construct a classification of administrative offenses of extremist nature.

Materials and methods. The use of methods of formal legal analysis, coupled with an appeal to the positions of researchers of administrative responsibility for offenses in the field of countering extremism, made it possible to come to the conclusion that it is advisable to revise certain legislative provisions on the procedure for applying and the scope of administrative responsibility in the area of public relations under consideration.
Analysis. The norms of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses are considered, establishing a number of elements of administrative offenses of an extremist nature. The author’s critical view of the applied administrative coercion measures, coupled with modern realities, in which state policy to consolidate society around the national idea in the face of a complex set of external and internal challenges, allowed us to conclude that it is advisable to tighten administrative liability for extremist offenses and revise certain provisions on administrative punishments. Despite the legal restrictive nature of these proposals, the author justifies their expediency in the context of the growing flow of information due to the development of communications, the unfair use of which can create a threat to national security.
Results. The measures proposed by the author are aimed at increasing the effectiveness of the mechanism of administrative responsibility in terms of its compliance with the principle of proportionality and effectiveness in the fight against manifestations of extremism.
