What is the difference between Bolsheviks and Mensheviks?
Answers
Answer:
The word Menshevik comes from the word "minority" (in Russian of course), and Bolshevik from "majority". Bolsheviks believed in a radical —and elitist— revolution, whereas Mensheviks supported a more progressive change in collaboration with the middle class and the bourgeoisie.
Explanation:
Bolsheviks and Mensheviks were the two main factions within the Russian Socialist movement at the beginning of the 20th century. In Russian, the term “Bolshevik” literally means “majority” whereas “Menshevik” means “minority” – even though, in reality, Mensheviks were often the majority. Despite the common origins and the similar political orientation, the two groups officially divided on November 16, 1903 because of their divergent opinions and the discrepancies between their leaders.
