The article is devoted to the analysis of the phenomenon of manipulation, its role and place in terrorist activities. The features, possibilities and ways of implementing manipulation in terrorist practice are revealed, and its destructive essence is shown. Manipulation is viewed as a socio-psychological mechanism that, interacting with other objective and subjective factors, initiates terrorist behaviour and forms a terrorist-type personality.
Key words: terrorism, manipulation, communicative and interactive practices, social influence, destructiveness.
