The '''Russian Social Democratic Labour Party''' (RSDLP) was a [[Russia]]n political [[party]]. 

The party was founded in 1898. Its program was based on [[Marxism]] and [[socialism]]. The party wanted to lead the workers of [[Russia]] and to get rid of the [[Tsar]].

Some members of the party wanted [[democracy]] and were called "[[Mensheviks]]".

Other members of the party spoke for the [[dictatorship of the proletariat|dictatorship of the working class]] and were called "[[Bolshevik]]s". The leaders of the Mensheviks were [[Martov]] and [[Potresov]]. The leaders of the Bolshevik group were [[Plekhanov]] and [[Lenin]].

The Russian Social Democratic Labour Party was an illegal party. It fought against the [[autocracy]], organized meetings and [[Strike action|strikes]], and printed illegal newspapers blaming the Tsar and his government. Many members of the party were arrested, put into prison, or condemned to penal servitude.

In 1917 [[Lenin]] and most other Bolsheviks became a separate political party, RSDLP(B), which later became the [[Russian Communist Party]].

During the [[Russian Civil War]], the RSDLP was banned by the communists. Some social democrats became Communists, others fled from Russia, and still others became [[political prisoners]].
