The new name 'Communists' was adopted by Bolsheviks at their Seventh Party Congress in March 1918.Note: The 'Bolsheviks' as a faction of the Russian Social Democratic Party are not to be confused with another socialist party named 'Socialist Revolutionaries.' This question specifically uses the term "socialist revolutionaries," but it obviously does not mean the political party that was then known as the "Socialist Revolutionaries," because the "Socialist Revolutionaries", as well as all other political parties, were abolished by the Communists.The new name taken was "Communists." Prior to March 1918, they were known as Bolsheviks.
The Bolsheviks renamed Russia the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic in 1918.
The Great October Socialist Revolution of 1917 saw the Bolsheviks seize the main power base in Russia. They staged an armed insurrection in Petrograd and succeeded in establishing themselves as the new governing power.
