Yes, they were known as Bolsheviks but after they came into power and abolished all other political parties and factions, the changed their name to the Communist Party in March 1918. Their reasoning was that while before the revolution there were several Marxist political parties, now that all of them had been eliminated, the Bolsheviks were the only Marxist party in existence. Thus it had the sole right to call itself the Communist Party.
