The article considers the peculiarities of counter propaganda methods against pseudo-Islamic extremist organizations in social networks and determines the degree of efficiency and improvement of counter-propaganda measures against ISIS in social networks, undertaken by the government and civil society activists. The author concludes that the counter-propaganda in social networks must be improved with the assistance of Muslim religious organizations. The improvement of PR-technologies presupposes a lot of factors: peculiarities of audience, sources of communication, content of messages etc.
