The name Bolsheviks and Soviets are one and the same but I understand what you are trying to say.
Stalin learned mass terror from Lenin.
To protect the newly-established Bolshevik government from counterrevolutionaries and other political opponents, the Bolsheviks created a secret police, the Cheka.
Lenin had always been an advocate of "mass terror against enemies of the revolution".
Red Terror - Between 1918–1921 up to 200,000 were executed.
