Pretty sure that is some ultraleft stuff posted to undermine marxist leninist critical support for russia.
Wikipedia:
Seems to be a member of the KPRF?
That doesn't sound like the KPRF.
The quote comes from the same wiki article that names him as part if the kprf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Udaltsov
That's what I thought as well, maybe I'm misunderstanding the quote
The guardian seems to disagree with his imprisonment, which is interesting. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/25/sergei-udaltsov-terrorism
Edit: he seems related to the "book club" jailings that happened recently as well.
I have the full context of the arrests of the Ufa "marxists". I will share it later on so people could understand why it happened.
From my perspective, it seemed as a messy case where saboteurs misled new marxists into committing adventurism.

Ok, I look forward to reading it!
Here it is! https://lemmygrad.ml/post/10193899
Nice, thank you!!
Probably. However, this jailing is still bad news
That's why it is important to contextualize the news and even more for countries under siege by the imperialist.
Otherwise, you might end up making the mistake of feeling sad for a fascist collaborator posing as a marxist or leftist.
It seems to be reported as bad news in the western press, which is at least an interesting data point. I don't know this guy or his left front, though.
It looks to me like the western press is reporting this as bad news because it fits their "Putin = dictator" narrative. Every article I'm seeing goes something like "anti-Putin activist jailed, says charges against him are fabricated," etc.
