Bolsheviks
Bolsheviks (Rus. ‘majority’) Marxist revolutionaries, led by
Lenin, who seized power in the
Russian Revolution of 1917. They narrowly defeated the
Mensheviks at the Second Congress of the Social Democratic Labour Party in London (1903). The split, on tactics as much as doctrine, centred on the means of achieving revolution. The Bolsheviks believed it could be obtained only by professional revolutionaries leading the
proletariat. The Bolsheviks were able to overthrow the Provisional government of
Kerensky through their support in the
soviets of Moscow and Petrograd. See also
