Question

how were the Bolsheviks Different from Mensheviks ?

Answer 1

Difference between Bolshevik and Menshevik

Bolsheviks believed in a radical —and elitist— revolution, whereas Mensheviks supported a more progressive change in collaboration with the middle class and the bourgeoisie. The central figures were Julius Martov, at the head of the Mensheviks, who opposed Vladimir Lenin, leader of the bolcheviks.
