The Bolsheviks were a revolutionary communist party led by Vladimir Lenin. They succeeded in overthrowing the Provisional Government in Petrograd in October 1917 and established the world's first socialist state. The Mensheviks were another socialist party in Russia at the time, but they were more moderate and did not support Lenin's revolution. The anarchists were another revolutionary group, but they did not have the same level of organization and were not able to compete with the Bolsheviks for power. The National Socialists, also known as Nazis, did not come to power in Germany until 1933, long after the Bolshevik revolution in Russia.
