Not sure if this is legit or not:

On 25 November 2025, during the closing hearings at the Central Military Court of the Yekaterinburg District, the prosecution demanded 20 to 24 years in a high-security penal colony for the members of a Marxist study circle in the city of Ufa, accusing them of “terrorism” and “conspiracy to overthrow the government.”

Does anyone have legit insights about the state of Marxism and communists in Russia? How or why the current government is unveiling statues of Lenin and Stalin anew and how that holds up against this article (in this regard, is idcommunism.com a legit source)?

Any legit source or insight is appreciated.

    No worries. There have been lots of progress in Russia and I have shared plenty of posts about it in this community. That’s why the KKE premise of active persecution of marxists doesn’t fit well with reality if we investigate plenty of Grassroot initiatives that have been done in Russia. However, it does fit well with Europe though!

    As for the case in the news presented by KKE, I am pretty sure that the person could have been confused with a saboteur which are running rampant in Russia and the Donetsk. The Banderites(and/or their backers) are paying huge sums to any citizen to commit acts of sabotage. One example will be in the same Yekaterinburg region where a group of teenagers set fire to a locomotive on orders from a foreign intelligence officer -> https://tass.ru/proisshestviya/24762711. They were promised 120,000 rubles for their work.

    As of any country that is currently being sieged by the imperialist, if you give hints of a desire of sabotage, you will be arrested and this can happen anywhere from Iran to China.
