On 27 February 2020, the party was de-registered by the Supreme Court of Russia after the Ministry of Justice appealed for the party's liquidation over its non-participation in elections.^[4]

In 2022, the organization split from the Russian Communist Workers' Party and was rebranded under the leadership of Alexander Batov [ru]; The word "united" was removed from the name, its abbreviation was changed to "RTF", and the design of the website was changed to feature the colour blue more prominently, with red having previously been the primary colour, while communist symbols were removed. The rebranding was preceded by disagreements over the RCWP's support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the expulsion of Batov from the RCWP.^[5][6]

The RCWP plans to re-organise the ROT FRONT with the United Communist Party.^[7]
