Vladimir Lenin was a Russian revolutionary and the Bolsheviks were his supporters. In 1917, they seized control of Russia and founded the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the world's first ever Communist country. The Bolsheviks came from the the Russian Social Democratic and Labour Party, which split in 1901 into the Bolsheviks ("majority") and Mensheviks ("minority"). The Mensheviks believed Communism should be achieved in Russia by first replacing the monarchy with a democracy, then introducing communism (despite their name, they actually had more supporters at first). The more radical Bolsheviks wanted to replace the monarchy with a dictatorship which would immediately introduce communism.
Vladimir Lenin was the leader of the Bolsheviks when the Russian monarchy was overthrown, BUT, the Bolsheviks were not the ones who overthrew the monarchy. That had already been done six months earlier.
The most important factors were Bloody Sunday and the Czar's mistreatment of the people Bloody Sunday occurred in 1905, therefore it could not have been one of the most important factors that enabled the Bolsheviks to seize power in October 1917. Bloody Sunday led to the feeling that the Tsar should be overthrown but not that the Bolsheviks should be in power. An important factor that enabled the Bolsheviks to seize power was that they were the one political party that had armed forces at its disposal. This was the Military Revolutionary Committee that had been set up days before the actual revolution. It was under the control of the Petrograd Soviet, which by then was under the Bolsheviks with Leon Trotsky at its head. With this armed force the Bolsheviks were able to seize and hold vital transportation, communication and military installations. This paralyzed the Provisional Government from alerting its own forces to what was happening and preventing it from bringing in troops to fight against the armed Bolsheviks. Another important factor was that the Bolsheviks had so infiltrated the Petrograd garrison that its soldiers were more loyal to the Bolsheviks than to their own commanders. The result was that when the Provisional Government tried to order the garrison out to fight the Bolsheviks, it refused to do so.
Even after the Czar had abdicated, an a democratic government had been formed, Lenin and the Bolsheviks continued to undermine the unstable new government, leading to further instability until the people overthrew the new government. The Bolsheviks then seized power, but had to fight a bloody civil war before consolidating control.
It was not a political party, but the Jacobins took control.
