  Bolshevik \Bolshevik\ n. [Russian bol'shevik fr. bol'she more +
     -vik, a person, i.e. one who is a member of the majority (in
     the revolutionary Russian parliament).]
     1. a member of the extreme left wing of the Social Democratic
        Party that seized power in Russia in 1917 after the
        Russian October Revolution, and advocated rule by the


        proletariat and state ownership of property.
  
     Note: Actually in the minority, this branch seized the
           opportunity, when the moderate group walked out, to
           proclaim themselves a majority and form a government.
           They prevailed in the subsequent civil war.
