Abstract

The article examines the facts of the spread of the ideology of terrorism in educational organizationsby employees of these organizations. It is noted that such practice is rare in Russia, however, the situationabroad is not so calm. Thus, a resonant case was noted in the UK in 2018: 25-year old U., a teacher at oneof the London colleges, was accused of radicalizing students at the college and mosque, as a result of whichthey held games reflecting the incidents of terrorist attacks in London. He also showed in his classes videosof hostages being beheaded by ISIS militants.U. noted that he plans, on the instructions of ISIS, to «create an army of students» that would helpcarry out attacks on «several targets using various types of weapons.» At the same time, U. did not have thequalifications to work as a teacher, but was accepted to teach Islamic studies. A similar situation was observedin Sweden in 2023. Of the 83 people found to have returned to Sweden from ISIS-controlled territory, 21 arenow working with children, youth and vulnerable people, according to an investigation by Swedish mediaoutlet Expressen. These are people who fought for ISIS and lived in areas controlled by ISIS. In several cases,ISIS returnees were recruited shortly after returning from Syria, where in many cases they spent several years with the terrorist sect. Hence, the author comes to the conclusion that working with employees ofeducational organizations to prevent them from spreading the ideology of terrorism confirms its necessity
