  Russian Social Democratic Labour Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The RSDLP later split into Bolshevik and Menshevik factions, with the Bolsheviks eventually becoming the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
The Mezhraiontsy were also formed from this party.
It was not the first Russian Marxist group; the Group for the Emancipation of Labour was formed in 1883.

 October Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although the Bolshevik party had to operate semi-legally throughout July and August, its position on the far left end of the political spectrum was consolidated.
Radical anti-war social democrats, who had joined the Mezhraiontsy earlier in the year, merged with the Bolsheviks in August.
Many of them, particularly Trotsky, Joffe and Konstantin Yurenev would prove vital to the Bolsheviks' eventual seizure of Petrograd.

At the time, Russian social democrats were split in at least 6 groups and the Bolsheviks were waiting for the next party Congress to determine which factions they would merge with.
Trotsky temporarily joined the Mezhraiontsy, a regional social democratic organization in St. Petersburg, and became one of its leaders.
Trotsky was arrested on August 7, 1917 (New Style) after an unsuccessful pro-Bolshevik uprising in Petrograd, but was released 40 days later in the aftermath of the failed counter-revolutionary uprising by Lavr Kornilov.

 Lunacharsky on Volodarsky   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
I stood as a candidate for the Petersburg City Duma and at the elections, in June if I am not mistaken, was elected a councillor.
I met Volodarsky at the first meeting of the joint group of the Bolshevik and Interdistrict ('Mezhraiontsy') councillors.
This joint group, I should mention, contained a fair number of major personalities.

By the middle of 1917 the Tsar had abdicated, a government of big capitalists had taken over Russia, and the working class in the large cities had proven open to revolutionary leadership.
Trotsky and some others, the "Mezhraiontsy" or Inter-district committee, joined the Bolshevik Party, where Lenin immediately put Trotsky on the Central Committee.
He played some role in the 1917 revolution, when the Bolsheviks overthrew the capitalist government, and a more important role as military and political leader during the Civil War for the next four years.
