Morphology

Serbo-Bolshevik = Serbo- + Bolshevik (transparent) = Serbo + Bolshevik

Formed by the combining form 'Serbo-' (relating to Serbia/Serbs) plus 'Bolshevik'; the meaning is directly the relation/link between the two elements.

Etymology

Serbo-Bolshevik joins Serbo- meaning 'Serbia' and Bolshevik, the name of the Russian revolutionary group, which comes from the Russian word bol'shinstvo meaning 'majority'. So Serbo-Bolshevik describes links or ideas that mix Serbian people or history with Bolshevik politics.
