To solve this problem, a variety of tools and methods are actively used, including the capabilities currently developed by criminalistics.

Methods: the methodological framework for this research was based on the methods of systematicity, analysis, historicism and comparative law. Results: the author’s well-grounded position was based on the consideration of the possibility of using educational influence on various categories of witnesses in the investigations of crimes of extremism. In the study of the possibilities of using educational effects, the relationship between the influences of the investigator on the witness was studied. On the basis of the conducted research, the differentiation of characteristic categories of witnesses subject to interrogation in this category of criminal cases under investigation was made.
