The Mensheviks ('minority'; the Mensheviks were in fact the majority among Russian Socialists) was a Marxist group in Russia around the time of its communist revolution, which bring about a socialist state via garnering and maintaining popular support - in short, a social democracy. The Mensheviks lost out to the more radical Bolsheviks.
The chief Menshevik was Julius Martov.
