No; the Socialist Revolutionary Party pre-dates the Bolsheviks and was the largest party in Russia at the time of the 1917 October revolution.

The Mensheviks were an orthodox Marxist organization that existed alongside the Bolsheviks (which were Leninist). The Naradoniks and Popular Socialists were other socialist organizations that existed since the mid-19th century.

Vladimir Lenin and his Bolsheviks established the first socialist state in Russia, but did not establish a socialist economy. Vladimir Lenin described the economy of Soviet Russia as a "state-monopoly capitalist" economy that was not yet advanced enough for socialism, which could only exist on a worldwide scale beginning in the most advanced capitalist nations.
