question: Which faction of the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labour Party did Nikolai Krivoruchko join?
answer: Bolsheviks
context: Title: Yakov Zevin
  Passage: Yakov Davidovich Zevin (1888–1918) was a Jewish Communist activist, one of the Bolshevik Party leaders in Azerbaijan during the Russian Revolution.  Zevin was born in Krasnapolle, a town in nowadays Mahilyow Voblast, Belarus.  He became a member of Russian Social Democratic Labour Party in 1904 and he was arrested several times for conducting revolutionary activities.  He was a delegate in the 6th (Prague) conference of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party in 1912, where he represented the group of Mensheviks.  After the conference he became close to the Bolshevik positions.  In 1915 he was a member of the Baku committee of Bolsheviks.  After the February Revolution of 1917 he worked in the Moscow council of working deputies.  Zevin became one of the 26 Baku Commissars (he was the Commissar of Labor) of the Soviet Commune that was established in the city after the October Revolution.  When the Commune was toppled by the Centro Caspian Dictatorship, a British-backed coalition of Dashnaks, SRs and Mensheviks, Zevin and his comrades were captured by British troops and executed by a firing squad between the stations of Pereval and Akhcha-Kuyma of Transcaucasian Railroad.
  Title: Mensheviks
  Passage: The Mensheviks (sometimes called Menshevists Russian: меньшевик ) were a faction of the Russian socialist movement that emerged in 1904 after a dispute in the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP) between Julius Martov and Vladimir Lenin, leading to the party splitting into two factions, one being the Mensheviks and the other being the Bolsheviks.  The dispute originated at the Second Congress of the RSDLP, ostensibly over minor issues of party organization.  Martov's supporters, who were in the minority in a crucial vote on the question of party membership, came to be called "Mensheviks", derived from the Russian word меньшинство ("minority"), whereas Lenin's adherents were known as "Bolsheviks", from большинство ("majority").  Neither side held a consistent majority over the course of the congress.  The split proved to be long-standing and had to do both with pragmatic issues based in history, such as the failed revolution of 1905, and theoretical issues of class leadership, class alliances, and interpretations of historical materialism.  While both factions believed that a proletariat revolution was necessary, the Mensheviks generally tended to be more moderate and were more positive towards the liberal opposition and the dominant peasant-based Socialist Revolutionary party.
  Title: Leon Trotsky
  Passage: Leon Trotsky ( ;; also transliterated "Lyev", "Trotski", "Trotskij", "Trockij" and "Trotzky".  born Lev Davidovich Bronstein; 7 November 1879 – 21 August 1940) was a Marxist revolutionary, theorist, and Soviet politician.  Initially supporting the Menshevik Internationalists faction within the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, he joined the Bolsheviks ("majority") just before the 1917 October Revolution, immediately becoming a leader within the Communist Party.  He would go on to become one of the seven members of the first Politburo, founded in 1917 to manage the Bolshevik Revolution.  During the early days of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) and the Soviet Union, he served first as People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs and later as the founder and commander of the Red Army, with the title of People's Commissar of Military and Naval Affairs.  He became a major figure in the Bolshevik victory in the Russian Civil War (1918–1923).

The RSDLP later split into "Majority" and "Minority" factions, with the Majority (in Russian: ""Bolshevik"") faction eventually becoming the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.  The "Interdistrictites" were also formed from this party.
  Title: Social Democratic Labour Party of Norway
  Passage: The Social Democratic Labour Party of Norway (in Norwegian "Norges Socialdemokratiske Arbeiderparti") was a Norwegian political party in the 1920s.  Following the Labour Party's entry into the Comintern in 1919 its right wing left the party to form the Social Democratic Labour Party in 1921.  At the party convention in 1923, however, the Labour Party withdrew from Comintern, and the Communist Party of Norway was formed by the minority, who continued its affiliation with Comintern and the Soviet Union until 1991.
