bolcheviser

to bolshevize

Usage

A rare, historically loaded verb meaning to convert an institution, party, or country to Bolshevik ideology or methods — coined in the wake of the 1917 Russian Revolution. Almost exclusively found in history and political-science writing about the early Soviet period, never in everyday speech.

Examples
  • Le parti a été progressivement bolchevisé après 1920.The party was gradually bolshevized after 1920.
  • Les historiens décrivent comment l'armée fut bolchevisée.Historians describe how the army was bolshevized.
  • Ce terme apparaît surtout dans les textes sur la révolution russe.This term appears mainly in texts about the Russian Revolution.
Common mistake

This is a specialist historical term, not a general word for 'radicalize' — using it outside discussions of early Soviet history will sound odd or overly academic.
