The Bolsheviks, who were students of Marx, believed that the Russian power structure should be overthrown and power should be given to the architects of the revolution (i.e. themselves). The other half of the revolutionary faction, the Mensheviks favored interaction from the workers and farmers. After Russia's humiliation in World War I, food and work shortages, and the promise of the redistribution of land, the Bolsheviks were able to gain the support of the people.
The Mensheviks aimed to have a bourgeois revolution, followed by a capitalist period, to prepare Russia for socialism. They split from the Bolsheviks because they wanted broader representation than Lenin and the Bolsheviks argued for.
They wanted a Government (Duma), no Monarchy and they wanted Russia to keep fighting in WW1
