Menshevik was created in 1903.
Julius Martov was the leading Menshevik. Leon Trotsky was also a Menshevik until shortly before the October Revolution, when he switched over to the Bolsheviks.
A Menshevik is a member of the non-Leninist wing of the Russian Social Democratic Workers' Party. They are opposed to the Bolsheviks and defeated them after the overthrow of the tsar in 1917.

Trotsky was first associated with the Menshevik faction of the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labor Party, then the Bolshevik Party and lastly the Communist Party.
In 1905, Leon Trotsky was in Petersburg. There he spent his time writing for two revolutionary newspapers. One was The Russian World and the other, The Beginning was a Menshevik newspaper.

Bolshaviks There were several revolutionary parties: the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party, which was split into Menshevik and Bolshevik sides. In addition there were the Social Revolutionaries. This was a large revolutionary party, which used terrorism and violence to achieve its aims.
No, the Mensheviks were led mostly by Jules Martov. Trotsky was part of the Menshevik faction and one of its best theoreticians, but he wasn't their leader. Shortly before the October Revolution, Trotsky left the Mensheviks and joined the Bolsheviks.
Aleksandr Bondi has: Played Menshevik Troublemaker in "Vozvrashchenie Maksima" in 1937. Performed in "Chelovek v futlyare" in 1939. Performed in "Muzhestvo" in 1939. Performed in "Arinka" in 1939. Performed in "Galya" in 1940.
Vladimir Lenin and his Bolshevik followers split from the Menshevik dominated Russian Social Democratic Workers Party in 1906. In other words, the Bolsheviks did not "split from the Mensheviks." Lenin created the Bolshevik faction within the RSDLP in 1903. Then the remaining members began calling themselves Mensheviks. This was a bad tactical move on the part of the Mensheviks, because "mensheviks" means "minorityites" when in fact those members were in the majority.
Stalin had always supported the Bolsheviks, while Trotsky only switched from the Menshevik party to the Bolshevik party after it was apparent that the Bolsheviks would win. Trotsky was a thinker with brilliant speeches, Stalin used force for votes. Trotsky led the army, while Stalin was the secretary. Stalin had great political appeal, but Trotsky had great militaristic and organisational appeal. Furthermore, Stalin was mentally and physically strong, but after Lenin's death, Trotsky began breaking down. The power struggle between the two sparked a conflict in which Trotsky fled the USSR but was later disposed.
