Bolsheviks and Soviets are two groups of people from history. They were popular during the World War and started becoming that way in 1900s. They are often confused with another because the Bolsheviks were formed from the Soviet party. They split up to pursue their own interests and beliefs. The differences in their beliefs were very evident. Soviets believed in non-violence. They believed change could be made by spreading their message. Bolsheviks believed in violence. Another difference between them was the length of time to change. Soviets wanted a smooth change to happen over time, while Bolsheviks wanted it to be instant.

If you would translate Bolsheviks in Russian, you will get the term “majority.” This also started to become popular in the year 1905. The person who started this is Vladimir Lenin. One of its core principles is democratic centralism. This is also known to be related to communism.

Soviet, on the other hand, is considered to be “revolutionary.” This became popular when the Soviet Union was formed. A lot of the Soviets believed that in order to change, there is no need to do anything that will hurt anybody or make it uncomfortable for anybody, which is very different from how the Bolsheviks were.
