As an ecumenically minded social democrat, Rozhkov saw nothing inappropriate in trying to offer advice to the Bolshevik leadership, including Lenin. González's account suggests that it would be inaccurate to label Rozhkov as first and foremost either a "Bolshevik" or a "Menshevik" at any stage in his political career.
