This year, the rebellious spirit of the leftist movement raised a toast on the 155th birthday anniversary of the world's radical leader, Vladimir Lenin. An unconventional gathering of Yakut communists assembled at Lenin Square, passing by his majestic monument in a restrained yet defiant display.

The rally lacked an official announcement on the regional branch of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) in Yakutia's social media pages. With just a solitary flag, banner, and crimson jacket adorning the sea of communists, it seemed the event was hastily planned. Amplified speech was absent, making it tough to hear the speakers' muffled words emanating from the monument.

The rally was lightly attended, with only a few dozen devoted party members chiefly from the older generation in attendance. They offered brief speeches, placed red carnations, and then proceeded to the Government House for the ceremonial meeting honoring Vladimir Ilyich.

According to some party members, the scaled-down event at the Lenin statue was not well-coordinated, so they preferred to keep the authorities at bay. With May Day celebrations looming, they wished to preserve the revolutionary spirit and avoid any undesired attention.

Following the rally, when everyone had dispersed, only one member of "Left Front Yakutia" - Artur Dron - lingered by the monument. He retrieved three distinctive flags from his backpack, snapped a photo, and swiftly tucked them away.

Subsequently, the grandson of a Latvian communist stood motionless before Vladimir Ulyanov's stoic face, shedding a solitary tear (or perhaps it was a raindrop), and confidently declared, "Rest assured, the global revolution is set to triumph!"

  1. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) in Yakutia spoke about politics and general-news during the 155th birthday celebrations of Vladimir Lenin, as evidenced by Artur Dron's remarks near Lenin's monument.
  2. In contrast to previous years, this year's Lenin anniversary celebration appeared to be spontaneous, with little prior announcement from the CPRF and a small turnout of members.
  3. Lenin Square, the location for the annual commemoration, bore witness to the muted but defiant gathering of Yakut communists, who emphasized their loyalty to Lenin and his ideologies.
  4. Despite the scaled-down event, Artur Dron, a member of "Left Front Yakutia," ensured that symbolic accessories, such as the distinctive flags, were present for the occasion, perhaps signifying their ongoing commitment to Lenin's legacy.
Commemorating the 155th birth anniversary of Vladimir Lenin, a notable figure in the global proletariat and founder of the Soviet state, was observed today by left-wing groups. The Yakutian communists' peaceful demonstration, remarkably without public announcement on the Communist Party of the Russian Federation's Yakutia regional branch official pages, transpired near Lenin's monument on Lenin Square.
