This term was particularly used during the early 20th century, especially referring to the period of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the formation of the Soviet Union.

Examples of bolshevism in a Sentence

  1. Jan Smuts:

    Nazism ... destroys the very soul of our civilization ... I have not taken the same grave view of Bolshevism, for it never was clear to me that Bolshevism, in spite of its brutalities and cruelties, really threatened the essentials of our ethical civilization. And after all it was a revolution of a semi-barbarous people against a rotten government and an effete church. Nazi-ism in highly cultured Germany is a very different affair.

  2. Detroit Journal:

    Socialism is Bolshevism with a shave.
