I think most of the world know what a Menshevik is.

Yeah, and I think most of the world know who Zeydl Rovner was. This is why big-picture perspective is often helpful. :)

Ah, but she didn't include the part about the Menshviks getting eaten by the Bolsheviks. Or perhaps she just said that they got run over by them. I think I prefer the eaten version.

Zeidl Rovner (as I now realize his name is usually spelled) was a cantor and composer. His tune for the end of berikh shemeh — the one that begins "beh, beh ana rahitz" — has become the standard in most American synagogues that I've visited.

Oh, and his real name was Josef Marogowsky, the spelling of which tends to change depending on who wrote it and when. The nickname "Zeidl" came about because he had a very grandfatherly demeanor, even as a young man, and "Rovner" because he was from Rovno.
