History
edit_224.jpg)
The movement was founded in the summer of 2017 by Dmitry Tsorionov and a number of supporters of the ideas of the White movement.[3]
On 7 August 2018, the movement held a joint action with Pussy Riot against the torture of prisoners "FSIN = GULAG".[4] A few days later, the action participants were detained.[5]
On April 22, 2019, the birthday of Vladimir Lenin, Decommunization activists held actions in Moscow and Yekaterinburg. As reported on the project page on VKontakte, a poster was hung on the monument to Lenin on Kaluga Square in Moscow with the inscription "Subject to dismantling as part of decommunization."[6]
On November 8, 2019, the movement, together with Pussy Riot, held a rally near the Kremlin in support of political prisoners. Then the activists of the two projects posted a banner "Stop Gulag" on the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge. Shortly after the action, the participants were detained.[7][8]

The movement also participated in rallies in memory of Boris Nemtsov.[9][10]
With the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the movement temporarily suspended its activities, saying that "despite all our efforts, the country has finally returned to its totalitarian past".[11]
