The Bolsheviks, who originated from a split in the Social-Democrats.
Lenin started the Bolshevik Party, as a faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party in 1903. It became a separate party some years after that. It was renamed the Communist Party in March 1918.
Before the Russian Revoultion they were called the Bolsheviks and after it was the Communist party of the Soviet Union. Today the main communist party is the Communist party of the Russian Federation which today is one of the largest political parties in the Russian Diet (Paraliment)
The Bolshevik Party (later renamed the Communist Party) led the Russian Revolution of October 1917. The previous revolution in that year, the February Revolution, was not ed by any particular political party.
Russia's communist part today is known as the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. It's the second largest political party in Russia today.
Vladimir Lenin was the leader of the radical faction of the Russian Socialist Democratic Labor Party known as the Bolshevik Party. In March 1918, they changed their name to the Communist Party.
The Communist Party, as known today, emerged from the split within the Socialist movement in 1917, led by Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin in Russia. The party gained prominence during the Russian Revolution and eventually became known as the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
The Communist Party was not banned from the Russian Soviet Federated Republic. Far from it. The Communist Party under Lenin, created the RSFSR and abolished all political parties other than the Communist Party, which had been known as the Bolshevik Party until March 1918.
Russian Communist Workers Party was created in 1991.
CPSU - The Communist Party of Soviet Union (Russian: КПСС - Коммунистическая Партия Советского Союза)
Communist Party of the Russian Federation was created on 1993-02-14.
Bolshevik was the first name of the political party headed by Vladimir Lenin and formed in 1903. Prior to 1903, the Bolsheviks were members of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party. Subsequent to the October Revolution in 1917, the renamed themselves the Communist Party.
The Bolshevik Party under Vladimir Lenin renamed itself the Communist Party in March 1918 after the Russian Revolution. They did this because Lenin had outlawed all other political parties, especially the other Marxist/Communist ones. He felt that since the Bolsheviks were the only political party espousing communism and since there was no further reason to differentiate themselves from the Mensheviks, they should call themselves the Communist Party. So they did.
