Explanation:

1- The Bolsheviks were supporters of the establishment of proletarian power theorized by Karl Marx and the union of workers and peasants as a formula to achieve the destruction of Tsarism and the conquest of power.

2- The Mensheviks were in favor of making Russia a Western-style bourgeois democratic country as a precursor to socialism. In the Congress of London they opposed the Bolsheviks.

3- The Red Army was the official name of the army and the air force of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic and, after 1922, of the Soviet Union. The Army was established immediately after the October Revolution, more commonly known as Red October, 1917. The Bolsheviks raised an army to oppose the Confederate military who were under the counterrevolutionary White Movement during the Russian Civil War.

4- The White Movement was made up of Russian counterrevolutionary nationalist forces, in many cases Pro-czarists, who after the October Revolution fought against the Red Army during the Russian Civil War from 1918 to 1921.
