Abstract
The article presents an overview of modern studies of political radicalism in the context of civic activism. The author considers models of radicalization expressed in the opinions and actions of citizens. He singled out the main directions of political radicalism and marked the demarcations with other ideological currents. The author sees the process of political radicalization as a multifactorial process of fundamental changes in society, which are figured out by the historical context, urgent socio-economic problems, and emerging challenges. The expansion of the influence of digital communications, which formed an initially uncontrolled by the state online space for the interaction of citizens and the distribution of content, facilitated the political radicalization of society. The author sees the prospects for the study of political radicalism in the study of cognitive motivation of actions, the relationship between behavioral attitudes, intentions and actions, the conversion of moods from online to offline spaces.
