Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

‪The “Russian Social Democratic Labor Party“ was founded and so named in 1898. In 1918 it was renamed the “Russian Communist Party (Bolshevik)”, and in 1952 the “Communist Party of the Soviet Union”. According to a theory first developed by Lenin, all three names promoted “the party” as a superior form of political organization and indicated the stages of history that were to come. All three therefore were programmatic names.‪
