Led by Vladimir Lenin it was the Russian communist party that took over the Russian government during WWI?

• A. Bolsheviks
• B. Mensheviks
• C. Kadets
• D. Social Revolutionaries

Answer: (A)

The group led by Lenin that seized power in Russia during World War I was the Bolsheviks. They were the faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party that advocated a small, tightly organized vanguard to lead a revolution. In the October Revolution of 1917, they toppled the Provisional Government and established a government based on the soviets, beginning the path to a Soviet state and eventually the Communist Party lineage. The other groups mentioned—Mensheviks, Kadets, and Social Revolutionaries—were different political factions with varying aims, but none of them led the seizure of government power in 1917.
