A comprehensive approach to ensuring anti-terrorism security in educational organizations in the Russian Federation

The subject of the study is a set of organizational, legal, technical, and preventive measures aimed at ensuring the anti-terrorist security of educational organizations in the Russian Federation. The article examines anti-terrorist security not as a sum of individual measures but as a comprehensive system for managing the safety of the educational environment, which includes categorization of facilities, development of security protocols, organization of access and intra-facility regimes, application of security technical means, alarm and notification systems, as well as training of personnel and preventive work with students. Special attention is paid to the interrelationship between regulatory requirements and practical mechanisms for their implementation in educational organizations. The study also addresses the issue of coordinating anti-terrorist measures with fire safety requirements, evacuation, and the everyday functioning of educational institutions. The research is based on systematic, comparative-legal, and classificatory approaches. The materials for the study include the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, national standards and codes of practice, scientific publications on issues of comprehensive safety in educational organizations, as well as practice-oriented industry materials on technical notification systems. The scientific novelty lies in substantiating a comprehensive approach to ensuring the anti-terrorist security of educational organizations, where legal, organizational, engineering-technical, staff, and preventive measures are viewed as interconnected elements of a unified security system. Unlike approaches primarily focused on meeting formal requirements or installing individual technical means, the article proposes a systematization of protection methods based on functional purposes and levels of managerial impact. It concludes that the effectiveness of anti-terrorist security is determined not only by the presence of a security protocols, access control, video surveillance, alarm systems, and notification systems, but also by the degree of their integration into the daily activities of the educational organization. The necessity of coordinating anti-terrorist measures with fire safety requirements, evacuation, and the provision of an accessible educational environment is emphasized.
