The specifics of individual behavior under the influence of the work of a recruiter of extremist orientation in an electronic digital society

Historical, political and sociocultural features of the modern world development associated with polyethnicity, polyconfessionalism, migration and globalization, as well as the lack of stable traditions in understanding basic humanistic ideas and the complexity of regulating the problems of statehood in the situation of the new cold war have always contributed to political instability. This basis forms powerful prerequisites for the development of deviations of various kinds in society, which actualizes the development of information and communication and civil technologies in countering political extremism not only in Russia, but also in other countries. Bringing to the fore the problem of the human factor and the anthropic nature of the image of language created by linguistics led modern researchers to the need to study the language in its real functioning as a transformed form of human activity in the course of its material, practical and spiritual activities. The involvement of these factors requires the specification of the goals of the analysis and the mathematical formalization of problem statements. The analysis of the discourse of the media and social media is just that subject area where such formalization is possible. This requires an interdisciplinary approach involving experts in the field of linguistics, sociology, cultural studies, psychology and digital humanities.
