From United Communist Party of Russia:
"Today, January 21, activists of the United Communist Party (OKP), Russian Communist Workers Party (RKRP) and other communist organizations laid flowers at the mausoleum of the founder of the world's first socialist state, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, on the centenary of his death.
"Unfortunately, government officials once again prohibited the unfurling of flags in Red Square. But a ban on flags is not a ban on speech, which will inevitably be ours."
Moscow: Memorial for those who fell in the October 1993 popular uprising, Oct. 3, 2024.
MOSCOW: Today, October 3, 2024, members of the United Communist Party, the Russian Communist Workers' Party, the Union of Communist Youth, representatives of the "Independent Trade Union New Labor" and others took part in a memorial event dedicated to the popular uprising of October 3-4, 1993.
The events that took place during these days became a turning point in the establishment of an open bourgeois dictatorship in the Russian Federation. The degenerated part of the top of the CPSU, which treacherously put an end to the USSR and socialism in 1991, took a course on bringing the political and administrative structure in line with the needs of the development of the new bourgeois state, which arose on the basis of a raider seizure of public socialist property by a small group of people.
In these conditions, the Supreme Council and the Constitution, rooted in the Soviet era, despite the socialist content formally eliminated after 1991, were an obstacle for the new masters of the country in further strengthening their power and the complete appropriation of all property created by the people. This is precisely why President Boris Yeltsin carried out a coup d'etat, the purpose of which was to liquidate the last, in essence, remnants of Soviet power, real parliamentarism and popular representation.
For going beyond the constitutional field, Yeltsin was removed from office by the decision of the Supreme Council, but thanks to the leadership of the security forces that betrayed the Constitution and the Motherland, he managed to stay in power and successfully complete the coup. During this process, the uprising of the people who came out in Moscow in support of the legitimate government was brutally suppressed and drowned in blood -- thousands of people died.
Even after more than thirty years, the opposition forces do not forget what happened in those tragic days. Representatives of a number of political, trade union and public organizations met in the capital to honor the memory of those who died for Soviet power and to brand with shame the executioners who carried out a bloody forceful cover-up of the process of establishing the dictatorship of bourgeois raiders in our country.
The event was led by the Secretary of the United Communist Party (OKP) Central Committee Denis Sommer. The acting first secretary of the OKP Central Committee Vladimir Lakeev, members of the Russian Communist Workers' Party (RKRP) Artem Buslaev and Vera Basistova spoke.
The participants, as in all previous years, expressed their firm determination to fight to ensure that all those involved in the suppression of the popular uprising, no matter how many decades have passed since the tragic year of 1993, bear severe responsibility for their criminal acts, which have no statute of limitations.

Joint statement of revolutionary organizations in Russia: THE REVOLUTION NEVER GETS OLD!
Comrades! Today we stand together against the capitalist system, for the conquest of power by the workers and for the deprivation of this power from the bourgeois exploiting class. The reference point and beacon for us in this struggle, the best proof of the rightness and necessity of our cause, is the main event of the twentieth century – the October Socialist Revolution of 1917.
Great October is already 107 years old, but since this event is epochal, determining the main vector of development of human history for centuries to come, it is not subject to any aging. Let us repeat what is well known and obvious to everyone who looks at the process of world development objectively, and does not distort it to please the bourgeois class.
The significance of October is that for the first time in history, power was taken by the oppressed and exploited, workers and peasants, dispelling the myth that only representatives of the propertied classes can rule. This became possible thanks to the revolution carried out under the leadership of a proletarian party, seasoned in class battles – the Bolshevik Party.
The immediate consequence of the seizure of power by the workers was the construction of a socialist state. In this state, thanks to the liberation of labor from the yoke of capital, there was an unusually rapid and comprehensive rise in productive forces, which made the economically and politically backward country the flagship of world development. A socialist society was created -- a society of people of high culture, high level of education, high civic morality. This is the basis on which the Soviet people were able to achieve the Great Victory over fascism. They were able to be the first in space and nuclear energy. They were able to ensure peace for the world in the period after the Second World War.
The bourgeois counterrevolution of the late 1980s - early 1990s destroyed all these achievements, destroying the socialist social system, the socialist state -- the USSR -- and demonstratively shooting the remnants of Soviet power in 1993. Bourgeois propagandists today are trying to prove that the counterrevolution took place due to the unviability of socialism. Lies! The bourgeois revolution became possible as a result of the ruling CPSU ceasing to express the interests of the working class and all workers, and stooping to accepting and implementing the restoration of capitalism under the guise of "perestroika" and the "market" course.
The list of bitter and gloomy things that capitalism has brought to our land and our lives is endless. Suffice it to say that it has created a monstrous stratification between rich and poor, made people’s position in society and their very lives (medicine is now paid for!) directly dependent on the thickness of their wallets, deprived the workers of all rights and all opportunities to influence the fate of their country.
Capitalism has literally showered us with the most disgusting vices of bourgeois society, and also drawn us into an endless series of conflicts and bloody wars on national grounds, the largest of which, the current war with the Nazi regime in Ukraine (and that regime arose only thanks to capitalism), is unfolding before our eyes.
The longer this goes on, the more obvious it becomes that the only way out for the workers is to achieve a new socialist path of development, to break the bourgeois system. No reforms or elections will change anything here. And so our eyes are turned to the example of the Great October.
The bourgeois government understands all this very well and strives to nip any movement toward a new revolution in the bud. Repressions against activists follow, bans on peaceful public events under a variety of pretexts, as well as any manifestations of protest in general. There is a desire to ban the very political literacy of the opponents of the bourgeois regime -- the teachings of Marxism-Leninism-- equating it with "terrorist" and "extremist" ideologies. But we know from the experience of the 1917 revolution that the thicker the lid that the bourgeoisie tries to push on the cauldron of workers' protests, the stronger the explosion will be.
Long live the 107th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution! Long live the coming October! Happy Revolution Day!

Darya Mitina: Comrades, 100 years ago the heart of the greatest man on the planet stopped beating. Tomorrow, Sunday morning, January 21, 2024, we plan to lay flowers at his mausoleum in Moscow and invite you to join us.
Gathering 9:40 at the monument of G. K. Beetle. We are leaving so early because there is zero chance that they will open the mausoleum longer and you will be able to enter. Those who have not been for a long time or (for sure there are some) who have never been, come.
The revolution never gets old!

Yesterday, May 8, the losers cried, today, May 9, the winners are celebrating!
Today at 12:00 we will lay flowers at the stele of the Hero City of Moscow at the intersection of Kutuzovsky Prospekt and Bolshaya Dorogomilovskaya Street. Let's bring there portraits of our comrades who laid down their lives in the fight against the fascist plague of the 21st century: Andrei Brazhevsky, Vsevolod Petrovsky, Evgeny Golyshkin, Vladislav Wojciechowski, Alexander Gribovsky, Ilya Znamensky.
And we are sure that we will march through the Immortal Regiment next year.
The Moscow City Organization of the United Communist Party (OKP), together the allies, celebrated the 153rd anniversary of the birth of V.I. Lenin by visiting the Mausoleum and laying flowers. April 22, 2023
