Best Answer

The Russian socialist revolutionaries under Lenin were known as Bolsheviks until March 1918 when they adopted the name Communists at their Seventh Party Congress.

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" were abolished by the Communists.
