Every year on 5 September a ceremony remembering and mourning the loss of victims of "Political Repression and the Red Terror" in Soviet Russia takes place near the Solovki Stone. Among other annual demonstrations is "Restoring the Names", reading aloud the names of victims of political repression in Soviet Russia. The Solovki Stone has also become a focus for public gatherings variously devoted to the victims of political terror, memorable dates in Russia's history, human rights initiatives and against violence and xenophobia. Anna Politkovskaya, Natalya Estemirova, Stanislav Markelov and Anastasia Baburova, Alexei Devotchenko, Natalya Gorbanevskaya, Valeriya Novodvorskaya, Boris Nemtsov, Vladimir Bukovsky,
 and others have been commemorated here. 
The first Saturday in June is a Day in Remembrance of the Victims of the Petrograd and Leningrad Prisons; it takes place near the Solovki Stone, followed in early August by gatherings to mark the beginning of the Great Terror. On 17 December, the anniversary of the enactment of Stalin's punitive 1933 law against gay people, LGBT activists lay floral tributes on the pedestal of the monument. There are usually protests each year on 20 December, the "Day of Secret Police Workers" [День работника органов безопасности Российской Федерации]. Gatherings in support of those charged in the Bolotnaya Square case, the Network case and other oppressed people have also been held here.The Solovki Stone in St. Petersburg has been vandalized several times. Within months of its inauguration it was daubed with swastikas and comments such as "not enough were killed", "slaves", etc. The attacks were repeated in 2003, 2007, 2012, and 2013. In 2013, for the first time, the issue of liability for the monument's condition was raised . Finally Petersburg's ombudsman Alexander Shishlov demanded clarification of the monument's status. In 2015 the traditional December Memorial Day was disturbed by people marching beneath portraits of Adolf Hitler. Neither the city administration or the local police intervened and human rights activists concluded that the march was a provocation staged by the city authorities. In 2018 the Last Address civic initiative and the Solovetsky Stone were publicly criticized by nationalist Aleksandr Mokhnatkin. On 30 October 2018, City Governor Alexander Beglov laid flowers at the monument.
