Prison sentence for Marxists in Russia?

https://www.idcommunism.com/2025/11/russia-marxists-face-20-year-sentences-for-studying-lenins-state-and-revolution.html

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.

I shared an answer in this other post -> https://lemmygrad.ml/post/9969479/7405114

In that comment, I tackle these three points:

  • The perception on the persecution described by the leading communist party in Russia
  • The source, idcommunism.com, which comes from the KKE.(Prolewiki has an article about them. Very recommended)
  • A possible explanation on the arrest.
