Question

What roles did the bolsheviks play in building a socialist society?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Bolsheviks,[a] also known in English as the Bolshevists,[2][b] were a faction founded by Vladimir Lenin and Alexander Bogdanov that split from the Menshevik faction[c] of the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP), a revolutionary socialist political party formed in 1898, at its Second Party Congress in 1903.[4]

After forming their own party in 1912, the bolsheviks took power in Russia in November 1917, overthrowing the republican government, and became the only ruling party in the subsequent Soviet Russia and the Soviet Union. They considered themselves the leaders of the revolutionary working class of Russia. Their beliefs and practices were often referred to as bolshevism.
