10. “Menshevik”, a Russian word meaning “minority member”, derives from the 1903 split of the Social Democratic Party into the radical Bolsheviks and more liberal, constitutionally minded Mensheviks. As the years went by after the revolution, to be designated a Menshevik became increasingly unhealthy.
