Bolshevik |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.01 sec. |
Bolshevik(Russian: “member of the majority”) Member of the wing of the Russian Social-Democratic Workers' Party led by Vladimir Ilich Lenin that seized control in the Russian Revolution of 1917. The group arose in 1903 when Lenin's followers insisted that party membership be restricted to professional or full-time revolutionaries. Though they joined with their rivals, the Mensheviks (“members of the minority”), in the Russian Revolution of 1905, the two groups later split, and in 1912 Lenin formed his own party. Its appeal grew among urban workers and soldiers during World War I. See also Communist Party, Leninism. |

The struggle against the bolshevists and communists and the popular claims against the German elites was seen by quite a number of former radical liberals in 1932 as resembling the struggle against Ultramontanism in the period of the Kulturkampf. He appears to interfere with family life more than the Bolshevists do, and to do it in the name of the sacredness of the family. A second secular and, this time, a pre-determined godless society was instituted by the Bolshevists in 1917, with all the subsequent horrors thereof. |
