The Mensheviks were a moderate faction of the Russian Socialist party that split from Vladimir Lenin's more radical Bolshevik faction in 1903, favoring gradual reform rather than revolutionary change. They matter historically because this split represented a fundamental disagreement about how socialism should be achieved in Russia, ultimately leading to the Bolsheviks seizing power in the Russian Revolution while the Mensheviks faded from influence.
