The purpose of the article is to analyze the issues related to the resistance to terrorism. The issues are considered of the choice of forms and methods of struggling with modern terrorism. As a strategy to overcome it, it is proposed to use the soft-power methods. The author believes that the fight against terrorism should focus more on prevention, through a balanced system of public education, by influencing the degree of aggressiveness in society and thereby reducing the level of terrorism threat. The most important component of the strategy of fighting terrorism is the modern pedagogical, educational daily activity aimed at restructuring the public consciousness by providing a positive impact on the basic value orientations and attitudes of young generation. In modern Russian pedagogy one of the main vectors of development is the formation and development of intercultural tolerance in the personality structure of the student. Tolerance is seen as a way to counter extremism and terrorism among the youth. It is necessary to bring up tolerance, to form humanistic value orientations, the ability to compromise, to harmonize positions instead of confrontation as a means of imposing one’s own interests. We should actively form a social and state system of upbringing with the emphasis on the formation of the personality of a young Russian, citizen and patriot of the homeland. Today, it is required a comprehensive prevention of social consequences of terrorism, introduction of a specialized program for the prevention of social consequences of terrorism focused on improving the quality of life of the population, including a set of measures aimed at the formation of worldview based on humanistic values. At the present stage of development, the potential of Russian education should be fully utilized for the consolidation of society, preservation of an integrated socio-cultural space of the country, overcoming of ethnic tensions and social conflicts.
