Russian Social Democratic Labour Party


(something like Rossiiskaia Sotsial-Demokraticheskaia Rabochaia Partiia)


Russian political party.


Formed in 1898 in Minsk. At the first congress all its members were arrested.


Created out of opposition to the Narodniki, the Social-Democrats (SD) program was based on the Marxist ideal to organise the proletariat towards a Socialist revolution.


In 1903 the Second Congress of the party met in Belgium. After the congress the party split into two factions the Bolsheviks (Bolshinstvo - majority party) and Mensheviks (Menshinstvo - minority party, actually the larger faction).
