Menshevizing idealism, also known as menshevistic idealism (Russian: меньшевиствующий идеализм), is a term that was widely used in Soviet Marxist literature and referred to the errors committed in philosophy by Abram Deborin’s group. The term was coined by Joseph Stalin in 1930.[1][2] According to Soviet philosophers, Menshevistic idealism tried to identify Marxist dialectics with Hegel’s, divorced theory from practice, and underestimated the Leninist stage in the development of philosophy.[3]
