'''Julius Martov''', real name '''Yuli Osipovich Zederbaum''' was the leader of the [[Mensheviks]] in [[Russia]].
He was born in [[Constantinople]] in 1873, to the [[Jewish]] middle classes. He was a close friend of [[Lenin]], and was initially a member of the Social Democratic Labour Party. Following a disagreement between Lenin and Martov, the SDlP split. Those who believed in a minority rule became the [[Bolsheviks]], those who believed in a large number of activists became the [[Mensheviks]].<ref>http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/RUSmartov.htm</ref>
After the victory of the Bolsheviks, Martov was forced into exile, as was common [[Communist]] policy at the time. He died in 1920.
