Question

What was the source of inspiration for the Russian Social Democratic Workers Party ( RSDWP) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Origins and early activities

Petersburg League of Struggle for the

Emancipation of the Working Class,

the RSDLP program was based on

the theories of Karl Marx and Friedrich

Engels, namely that despite Russia's

agrarian nature, the true revolutionary

potential lay with the industrial working

class.

Explanation:

Russian Rossiyskaya

Sotsial-demokraticheskaya Rabochaya

Partiya, Marxist revolutionary party

ancestral to the Communist Party of

the Soviet Union. Founded in 1898

in Minsk, the Social-Democratic Party held that Russia could achieve socialism only after developing

a bourgeois society with an urban

proletariat. It rejected the populist

idea that the peasant commune

, or mir, could be the basis of a socialist

society that could bypass the capitalist

stage.

Most of the leaders elected

at the founding congress were soon

arrested. The second congress, in

Brussels and London in July–August

1903, was dominated by the argument

between the Bolshevik wing of the party

, led by Vladimir Lenin, and the

Menshevik wing, led by L. Martov,

over Lenin’s proposals for a party

composed of disciplined professional

revolutionaries. Georgy Plekhanov, one

of the founders of Russian Marxism,

took a generally middle position. This

argument dominated the internal life

of the party. Party members played a

major role in the unsuccessful

Russian Revolution of 1905

, in which one Social-Democratic leader,

Leon Trotsky, was elected president of

the St. Petersburg Soviet. In the turmoil

of 1917 the Bolsheviks broke definitively

with their Menshevik rivals and, after

the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, changed

their name to the Russian Communist

Party (Bolshevik). Their rivals, the

Mensheviks, were finally suppressed

after the end of the Russian Civil War.
