Abstract
Cultural and anthropological components of terrorism are considered. The factors discouraging the development of universally valid understanding of this phenomenon are discussed, those being self-demonstration of terrorists and the state-performed terrorism. For the first time in scientific literature analytical definition of terrorism is suggesting: terrorism is the action of the individual or a group of persons aimed at intimidated of other people, at submission them with a view to establish the order declared by by some or other ideology (whose followers the terrorists are); at the same time using the methods which are beyond the ways of resolution of conflicts accepted in this community; first of all, indiscriminate psychological, moral and physical abuse so that their victims are quite random people. The human nature is a subject of a special consideration. On the one hand, this is its deformation that is the main trigger of terrorism, on the other hand, it is its suppression, its destruction in the greatest possible number of people that is the primary objective of terrorists.
