Introduction. The rise in the number of recorded extremist crimes committed by citizens of the Commonwealth of Independent States (hereinafter referred to as the CIS) is causing growing concern within society; consequently, a doctrinal analysis of the mechanism underlying the formation of criminal motivation among citizens of the CIS countries when planning and committing extremist crimes is required. The article provides an in-depth comparison of the concepts of ‘motive’ and ‘motivation’, and presents the views of leading criminologists on the subject under consideration. The article identifies the characteristics of the development of criminal motivation when planning and committing extremist crimes, and examines the development of such motivation among citizens of the CIS countries; it argues that motivation determines the motive behind extremist criminal activity. Methods. The methodological framework of the research was based on general scientific methods (analysis, systematisation, generalisation), as well as the formal-legal method. Results. When examining the development of motivation in committing extremist crimes by citizens of the CIS countries, the correlation between the concepts of ‘motive’ and ‘motivation’ was determined, the academic and legal literature on the subject was analysed, and the features of the development of motivation in committing extremist crimes were specified.
