Leninists facing repression

[robbo203]

I don’t know about the authenticity of this report but, apparently, in late November 2025, Russian prosecutors demanded sentences of 20–24 years in a high‑security penal colony for 5 members of a Marxist study circle in Ufa, accusing them of “terrorism” simply for studying Lenin’s State and Revolution. This book has been labelled a “terrorist manual”.

This is quite extraordinary, if true. I know we don’t have any truck with Leninists, their Vanguardist ideas, and their promotion of state capitalism, but even so, this is a blatantly anti-democratic move.

I believe that “preaching communism” (state capitalism) has been criminalised in one or two countries in Eastern Europe (Poland?)
