    Not really true. The Bolsheviks won out in the Russian civil war, and afterwards some groups took up arms against the socialist state, and were thus killed off. The people by and large supported the bolsheviks, the terrorist cells were not really supported.

      Despite their name, the Bolsheviks weren’t the majority of the revolution. But there was a group that indeed took up arms against the Socialist State, it was the Bolsheviks, which represented only about 13% of the delegates for all the other socialist parties had way more people and support. After staging a coup and taking the control, every other group became a “terrorist cell”. It’s easy to be the majority when you murder the rest.
