"Democracy was going to be introduced, the threat of nuclear war was over,and the Bolsheviks would turn into regular little capitalists overnight."(26)
The Bolsheviks were a Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labor Party that came to power in Russia during the October revolution party during the revolution of 1917.The Bolsheviks were originally lead by Vladimir Lenin and Alexander Bogdanov, but due to conflicts the Bolsheviks split up. It wasn't until 1952 that Stalin suggest that they change the name from Bolshevik to The communist party of Soviet Union, so whenever the book mentions Bolsheviks they are talking about Communists.
