Best Answer

After the revolution, the Russian Social-Democratic Labor Party became ineffectual and was subsequently split into two factions. The Bolsheviks, led by Lenin, insisted all power and decisions be reserved for the revolutionaries while the Mensheviks, led by Marton wanted an all inclusive party whose members could differ and debate on certain points.
