{{More citations needed section|date=February 2012}}

As the Russian Revolution of 1905 progressed, Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, and smaller non-Russian social democratic parties operating within the [[Russian Empire]] attempted to reunify at the [[4th Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party|4th Congress of the RSDLP]] held in April 1906 at [[Folkets hus]], [[Norra Bantorget]], in [[Stockholm]]. When the Mensheviks made an alliance with the [[General Jewish Labour Bund in Lithuania, Poland and Russia|Jewish Bund]], the Bolsheviks found themselves in a minority.

However, all factions retained their respective factional structure and the Bolsheviks formed the [[Bolshevik Centre]], the ''[[de facto]]'' governing body of the Bolshevik faction within the RSDLP. At the [[5th Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party|5th Congress]] held in London in May 1907, the Bolsheviks were in the majority, but the two factions continued functioning mostly independently of each other.
