Bolshevism

Bolshevism is a political ideology developed by the Bolshevik Party, led by Vladimir Lenin, during the early 20th century in Russia. It advocates for a revolutionary approach to establish a socialist state by uniting the working class and overthrowing the capitalist system. The Bolsheviks believed in a vanguard party to lead the revolution and enable the transition to communism. Their major success came during the October Revolution of 1917, which resulted in the establishment of the Soviet Union. Bolshevism significantly influenced global politics, shaping leftist movements and ideological debates throughout the 20th century.
