The movement was founded in the summer of 2017 by Dmitry Tsorionov and a number of supporters of the ideas of theWhite movement.[3]
On 7 August 2018, the movement held a joint action withPussy 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 ofVladimir Lenin, Decommunization activists held actions inMoscow andYekaterinburg. As reported on the project page onVKontakte, 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 theKremlin in support of political prisoners. Then the activists of the two projects posted a banner "Stop Gulag" on theBolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge. Shortly after the action, the participants were detained.[7][8]
The movement also participated inrallies in memory ofBoris Nemtsov.[9][10]
With the beginning of theRussian 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]
