Within the framework of this study, the essence of the phenomenon of “PMC ʹʹRedanʹʹ” is determined, and the influence of mass media on the spread of destructive subcultures among minors is theoretically substantiated. Of particular interest are the results of monitoring social networks on the topic under consideration. It is concluded that “PMC ʹʹRedanʹʹ” is a youth subculture of criminal orientation, gaining popularity among young people, which is largely explained by their age characteristics. Concerns are not caused by the “PMC ʹʹRedanʹʹ” movement itself, not by the subculture that anime fans adhere to, but by the fact that this large group of teenagers can be used to their advantage by setting them up to commit illegal acts. We believe that the sharp growth and no less rapid decline in the activity of “PMC ʹʹRedanʹʹ” is a kind of trial action of the people behind this youth movement to identify the level of readiness of the authorities to resolve conflict situations in society.
