Does Marxism draw any [relevant] conclusions from materialism?

Of course. One of the tenets of Marxism is that social being determines social consciousness, not vice versa. This is textbook materialism. Anything else simply leads to liberalism, religion, etc.

the idealist schools of thought that only recognise material and non-material mental stuff

You seem confused. There are two main currents in philosophy - materialism, which posits that nature is primary to spirit, being is primary to thought, and idealism, which posits the opposite. In between the two there are agnostics, who claim this question is impossible to answer. This has nothing to do with whether a philosophy "recognizes non-material stuff".

Marxism is strictly materialist. Read Materialism and Empiriocriticism or Anti-Dühring.

over a century ago Lenin has defined imperialism as capitalism in decay, monopoly capitalism, capitalism that has outgrown competition, that has stopped playing a progressive role in history and became solely a force of reaction, and since then not much has changed

at the time I commented it had like 14 upvotes and 0 downvotes, now it's at 15 upvotes and 14 downvotes, my comment got 2 downvotes like 5 minutes after posting it, but now it also has 5 upvotes.

Looks like it just took some time for the better part of lemmy to get to this post.

as much as I wish it were spontaneous, it seems organized (many cases happened right on the first day of elections; (nearly?) all of the perpetrators were women across like 5-10 cases that I've read about; they all immediately started taking photos as if to show proof to someone), it seems like either Russia or Ukraine is behind that (the former would want it to discredit the opposition, the latter to discredit the Russian state, either option sounds plausible to me). Of course, the Russian police says Ukraine-linked scammers promised money for doing it.

honestly with how much some scammers can achieve at times (I'd rather not say, I've seen some abhorrent cases in the news) I tend to believe the official Russian version

you aren't, bypassing DRM is always illegal. Using others' tools to bypass DRM may be legal, just like downloading copyrighted content may be legal.

it literally says "the possibility is being considered". Nothing concrete. Rutracker has been unbanned (afaik), but that's it. That doesn't mean shit about whether you can get sued, it just means the government will be more "hands-off" in regulating Western media piracy. They are still part of the WIPO and other treaties and can't not recognize other countries' IP unless they denounce those treaties, which would be stupid to do.

I'm a programmer and I remember 33 digits, but in practice I never use pi because I never have to deal with geometry
