  28 Bolsheviks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 28 Bolsheviks were a group of Chinese students who studied at the Moscow Sun Yat-sen University from the late 1920s until early 1935.
At the Zunyi Conference in 1935, the 28 Bolsheviks were defeated by Mao Zedong and his allies, primarily due to their military incompetence.
This led to the disintegration of the 28 Bolsheviks.

At the same time he declared that the Bolsheviks, who were a small minority, confronted a task, not of the immediate seizure of power, but of patient propaganda to convince a majority of the workers of the soundness of Bolshevik policy.
Bolshevik policy was thereafter directed toward the assumption of full power by the soviets, immediate termination of the war, planned and organized seizure of the land by the peasants, and control by the workers of industrial production.
Their policy was motivated by the consideration that they could have seized power easily in the capital but could not have held it in the rest of the country without support by a majority of the soldiers at the front and of the peasants in the provinces.

For Martin Malia, this violent action by one faction of the intelligentsia represented "a fantasy reenactment of the French revolution [that] was the beginning of political terrorism (as opposed to isolated acts of assassination) as a systematic tactic in the modern world.
The Bolsheviks were not the only group implicated in the civil war that broke out in Russia in the spring and summer of 1918, beginning a four-year-long orgy of killing by all sides, with people crucified, impaled, cut into pieces, and burned alive.
Considering themselves to be at war, the Bolsheviks installed a vocabulary of "the enemy" such as "enemy agents" and "populations lending support to the enemy." In accordance with the war model, politics reverted to simplistic terms.

 RevolutionaryLeft.com -> The Bolsheviks and the working class
The task of the Bolsheviks was to give a clear political and organisational expression to this movement, to ensure that it was concentrated at the right moment for the seizure of power, and to avoid premature uprisings which would lead to defeat.
Had the Bolsheviks not taken power, the future that faced Russia was not one of prosperous capitalist democracy, but fascist barbarism under the jackboot of Kornilov or one of the other White generals.
One of the key demands of the Bolsheviks throughout this time was: "All power to the soviets!" Months of patient explanation and the harsh experience of events won over the overwhelming majority of the workers and poor peasants to Bolshevism.

 Grigor'ev on Menshevism, 1917
Although it was never aligned with any one faction or party, in the autumn of 1917 it was closest to Martov's Menshevik-Internationalist faction.
To place the blame on 'Bolshevik demagogy', or 'the poisonous flowers of adventurism' and so forth, as the writers of Rabochaya Gazeta like to do, is to be unwilling to take stock of what is happening.
The same fate awaits the Bolsheviks, who are currently on the way up with astonishing speed, if they do not realise the necessity of taking into account those semi-proletarian elements of the democracy, who, disillusioned with their leaders of yesterday, have now placed their faith in the party of the majority of the proletariat.

They ensured the resignation of both Preobrazhensky and Dzerzhinsky (judged unduly 'soft' in relation to the Workers Opposition and to the Trotskyists respectively) and their replacement by hardened apparatchiks such as Solts who proceeded to berate the divided Party leadership for its weakness in curtailing the 'ultra left'.
It emphasised that "the emancipation of the working class was the task of the working class itself" (26) and that "the communists do not form a separate Party, opposed to other working class parties".
Bolshevik ideology and practice were themselves important and sometimes decisive factors in the equation, at every critical stage of this critical period.

Errors which have accumulated into a system and brought about a crisis in the organization, weakening it in the face of its great tasks and responsibilities and supplying a corresponding strength to its enemies, were formally ratified and laid down as a guiding line for the future.
The Stalin faction of the Communist Party, which held the convention in the steel vise of mechanical control, gave another demonstration there of its bankruptcy on the trade union question.

 RUSSIAN IMPERIAL SUCCESSION, by BRIEN HORAN
The remains of Emperor Nicholas II and his family were buried there in July 1998; in July 1918, their Bolshevik murderers had hidden the remains of the Emperor and his family in a secret, unmarked pit near Ekaterinburg, but they were unearthed by archaeologists in July 1991.
[28] In addition, Article 187 provides that the marriage of grand dukes and grand duchesses was to be announced by manifesto listing the title of the newlyweds and, "if the wife has converted to the Orthodox faith", with an indication of the name given to her at baptism.
This faction faded away upon the death of Grand Duke Nicholas in 1929, although his nephew Prince Roman of Russia maintained his father's and his uncle's attitude of unfriendliness to Russian legitimism and to the senior line of the dynasty.

 The Life, times & confessions of Victor Serge - the Bolsheviks pet anarchist
It comes as no surprise that the Party that would bring about the "dictatorship of the proletariat" was now full of little dictators who "possessed no initiative".[19] After all, the nature of their politics was to have a small number of people making decisions for the majority.
The anarchists, including a number who were temporarily released from Bolshevik jails in order to attend, turned his funeral into a massive show of strength and a "denunciation of all tyranny"[22].
So we did not mourn the passing of the Bolshevik dictatorship, socialism's chance in Russia passed when the blood of the sailors was spilled by the Red Army on the ice of Kronstadt.

 The Jewish Role in the Bolshevik Revolution and Russia's Early Soviet Regime
Bolshevik authorities at first reported that the Romanov emperor had been shot after the discovery of a plot to liberate him.
Soviet historians claimed for many years that local Bolsheviks had acted on their own in carrying out the killings, and that Lenin, founder of the Soviet state, had nothing to do with the crime.
Two weeks prior to the Bolshevik "October Revolution" of 1917, Lenin convened a top secret meeting in St. Petersburg (Petrograd) at which the key leaders of the Bolshevik party's Central Committee made the fateful decision to seize power in a violent takeover.

 Leon Trotsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In January 1912, the majority of the Bolshevik faction led by Lenin and a few Mensheviks held a conference in Prague and expelled their opponents from the party.
Trotsky was one of the first Bolshevik leaders to recognize the problem and he pushed for the formation of a military council of former Russian generals that would function as an advisory body.
Their views continued to be popular with many Bolsheviks throughout most of the Russian Civil War and their supporters, including Podvoisky, who became one of Trotsky's deputies, were a constant thorn in Trotsky's side.

 What Does Bush Have to Hide?, by Justin Raimondo
congressional report on 9/11 came with a kicker: 28 redacted pages, deemed too sensitive for the unwashed masses, which have generated more discussion than all the other 800-plus pages put together.
The idea that the Saudi government, or some vaguely-defined faction, is the real author of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. is a conspiracy theory shared by the far-left "Bush knew" tinfoil hat brigade and the neoconservative phalanx of American Likudniks, who posit Riyadh as the center of a worldwide Wahabist web of evil.
The American people are not usually prone to conspiracy theories, but those 28 blank pages seem to have transformed us into a mirror image of the Arab world, where conspiracism is the woof and warp of everyday discourse.

 Faction of Supporters of Otzovism and God-Building
Among Bolsheviks the trend is determined by their common attitude to the Russian revolution and the Bolsheviks have emphatically declared a thousand times (as it were to forewarn political infants) that to identify Bolshevism with boycottism or boyevism is a stupid distortion and vulgarisation of the views of revolutionary Social-Democracy.
The new faction's failure to understand these foundations is also the reason why it has resorted to the old method of camouflage, covering up tracks, denying the inseparable connection with otzovism, etc. The failure to understand these foundations causes the new faction to speculate on a philistine explanation of the split and on philistine sympathy.
Nine members of the Bolshevik Centre (elected by the Bolshevik group of the Fifth [London] Congress of the R.S.D.L.P. in 1907) were present at it, headed by Lenin, and representatives of the organisations of St. Petersburg, Moscow Region and the Urals.

 Part One: The Balance Sheet of October
The Bolsheviks were forced to retreat because of the potentially dangerous situation that arose from the opposition of the peasantry.
It was this danger, that was heightened by the political monopoly of the Bolshevik Party, which led the 10th Party Congress in early 1921 to temporarily ban factions within the Party itself.
Contrary to their intention, the Bolsheviks were forced to ban opposition parties and introduce a monopoly of political power.

Those who refuse to kowtow before such an absurd claim are, says comrade Thomas, branded economists, “with little regard to the fact that the monarchy in Russia then has a different political and social significance from the monarchy in Britain today”.
Of the 16 pro-Iskra delegates nine formed a majority - ie, Bolsheviks - under Lenin’s leadership, while the minority constituted the core of what was to become the Menshevik wing of the party.
The Bolsheviks, in contrast to comrade Thomas, never contented themselves with the existence of a myriad of factions, let alone rival centres and publications.

 Methods of Liquidators and Party Tasks of the Bolsheviks
The Party unit is a type of illegal Party organisation in which as a rule the Bolsheviks predominate and the rebuilding of which (for participation in the Duma, in legal associations, etc.) the otzovists have hindered.
The Bolsheviks are faced with the task of a fight on two flanks -- a "central" task (the essence of which has not been understood by Maximov, who sees here only insincerity and diplomacy).
The Bolsheviks for their part have openly proclaimed the need for this rapprochement, and for it we issue a call to all Mensheviks capable of openly combating liquidationism, of openly supporting Plekhanov, and, of course, to all Menshevik workers above all.
