1 relating to Bolsheviks or Bolshevism:
2 a member of the political party introduced by Lenin in Russia in 1917
The new Bolshevik government undertook a radical transformation of social life.
The Bolshevik soldiers stood to attention and listened to me with great interest.
The Bolsheviks comprised chiefly Jews and Germans, who were exceedingly active and enterprising.
What motive is possible except idealism, love of mankind, non-economic motives of the sort that Bolsheviks decry?
