What is a Bolshevik?

Answer 1

Bolshevik ("Большевик", derived from Russian word for "majority") is the name given to the faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP) led by Vladimir Lenin, formed at the Second Party Congress in 1903. The other faction was known as the Mensheviks, derived from "minority". Shortly after the Bolsheviks seized power during the Russian Revolution of 1917, they changed their name to the All-Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks), and then at the 1936 Party Congress to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The word "Bolshevik" is sometimes used as a synonym of Communist. It was often used by right-wingers outside the Soviet Union as a derogatory term for left-wingers, not all of whom were necessarily Communists. The Bolshevik political platform has often been referred to as Bolshevism.
