No, the Russian Socialist Revolutionaries were not a Marxist party. They were a different socialist party that emerged in Russia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They focused on agrarian populism and advocating for the interests of the peasantry, distinguishing themselves from Marxist parties like the Bolsheviks.

Socialist Revolutionaries, not MarxistThe Socialist Revolutionaries (SR's) were not a Marxist Party. This is because the SR's believed that the Peasants were the power base for revolution in Russia, unlike the Mensheviks and Bolsheviks who believed the Proletariat were the power base for revolution, as predicted by Marx's communist manifesto. The SR's wanted all land to be confiscated and redistributed amongst the peasants and believed in the use of terrorism to achieve its aims. The SR's created a separate terrorist group known as the SR Combat Organisation and was responsible for organising the assassinations of many government officials. SRCO agents assassinated two Ministers of the Interior, Dmitry Sipyagin and V. K. von Plehve, Grand Duke Sergei Aleksandrovich, the Governor of Ufa N. M. Bogdanovich, and many other high ranking officials.

The Bolsheviks were not Marxists, as they rejected Marx’s view that workers should liberate themselves. Bolshevism thought that workers need to be led by a vanguard.

What was the name of the Russian socialist revolutionaries under Vladimir Lenin in 1918?

The Russian socialist revolutionaries under Lenin were known as Bolsheviks until March 1918 when they adopted the name Communists at their Seventh Party Congress.

This question specifically uses the term "socialist revolutionaries," but it obviously does not mean the political party that was then known as the "Socialist Revolutionaries," because the "Socialist Revolutionaries" were abolished by the Communists.

What name was used by Russian socialist revolutionaries until March 1918?

They called themselves the Bolsheviks, which in Russian means 'majorityites'. This term was misleading, because it arose at the 1903 at the Russian Social Democratic Party (Marxists) Congress in Brussels, when the party split into two factions over the issue of strictness of party discipline over its members. The Bolsheviks were actually the minority faction when a number of conservative members of the party walked out in protest at Lenin's agitations. This gave Lenin's more radical followers a temporary one vote majority. He seized this opportunity to name his faction Bolsheviviks. Lenin's faction was soon returned to its minority status but kept its majorityite name. The majority faction, for some reason, accepted the name Mensheviks, which meant minorityites. In March 1918, at the Bolsheviks' Seventh Party Congress, they adopted the name Communist. Please note: Prior to the October Revolution there was another socialist political party named "Socialist Revolutionaries." Although this question specifically refers to "socialist revolutionaries," it is obvious that it actually contemplates the Bolshevik Party, since the Bolshevik Party changed its name to the Communist Party in March 1918. The Socialist Revolutionaries, as a party disappeared when the Bolsheviks abolished all political parties but their own.
