Definition

  • Menshevism refers to the beliefs of the Mensheviks, a Marxist faction that emerged in the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP) in 1903. Menesheviks are often portrayed as more moderate than the rival Bolshevik faction, but they were unable to play an important role in the politics of revolutionary Russia.
