[For the English abstract and full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version)].ABSTRACT The issue of anti-terrorist protection of subways in recent decades has significantly worsened. This is due to the general growth of the terrorist threat in the world - a number of terrorist acts have been committed in subways of various countries of the world, including Russia, the United States, Britain, Japan and France. For effective measures to counteract such acts, it is necessary to clearly know the trends of modern terrorism, particularly on the basis of systematization and analysis of statistical data on the terrorist acts committed in the metro with the subsequent formation of a matrix of trends, which in this case was done by the authors of the article. The proposed matrix helps to assess terrorist threats for Russian subways and can be used to develop measures to ensure their transport security. Keywords: subway, station, terrorist act, statistics, threat trends, transport safety.
