Annotation:  The article explores the phenomena of symbolic and direct violence associated with extremist practices of "sacral sacrifice" and "state of emergency" in the so-called color coups. The mythological genealogy of these phenomena, as well as the actual use in the activities of radical extremist forces, provoking controlled and unmanageable chaos in the state legal sphere of various countries, is investigated by the methods of social Sciences and Humanities. Often hidden goals and motives of modern political and legal protest actions are shown. Extremism arises not only on the basis of the exclusion of a person, but also on the basis of the impossibility of inclusion, integration into the basic culture, including in the political, legal and economic as a consequence of "resentment" (the absence, for example, of social elevators provokes and exacerbates extremism).

Keywords:  violence, nonviolence, terror, extremism, "color coups", sacral sacrifice, state of emergency, freedom, power, revolution
