The Bolsheviks changed their identity BEFORE the Russian Civil War ended and became known as the Communist Party very shortly after the October Revolution at their Seventh Party Congress in March 1918. The reason was that the Bolsheviks were now in power and they weren't going to let any other political party exist (even though several of them aspired to create a Communist society,) so they might as well call themselves the Communist Party
