The purpose of the article is to analyze the problem of overcoming terrorism. The main reasons of arising of terrorism and the strategies of its overcoming are considered. The author makes an accent on the need of realization of a state educational and socio-cultural policy aiming at prevention and eradication of terrorism on the basis of spiritual-creative potential of the members of the society. The most important component of an antiterrorism strategy is, in the author's opinion, the pedagogical, educational activity in order to change the public consciousness, influence the major values and attitudes, and master the behavioral strategies that reduce the social tension.
