Detailed Solution

The assertion is false, but the Reason is true. Bolsheviks was a communist political group that was totally in opposition to private properties. They believed that properties must not be considered private but must be under collective ownership. Therefore, in November 1917, they nationalized many industries and banks and were considered the government’s property.
The government had complete rule over these properties. They had the ownership and management of these properties. They believed that properties under the government were well managed and owned. They even declared the lands as social property, giving the government the right to manage those lands well. They found that private properties were causing social ills in society.
