Lenin was isolated in neutral Switzerland during the beginning of World War I. After receiving news of the February 1917 Revolution in Russia, he wanted to return there immediately to give instructions to the Bolsheviks about how to continue with the revolution and to defeat the Provisional Government. A Swiss Communist convinced the German government to send Lenin safely to Russia on a sealed train. The German government hoped that Lenin would provoke political unrest in his homeland, forcing Russia to surrender to the Germans, which would allow Germany to pull troops away from the Eastern Front to focus on the war in the Western Front.
Germany sent him there in the hope of destabilizing the country.
Vladimir Lenin was not in Russia during the March 1917 Revolution. With the help of Germany he returned to Russia in April of 1917. At this time with the Czar no longer in power, Lenin announced that Russia was the freest of all the belligerent nations in World War One. The center Bolshevik newspaper, Pravda was now published openly.
Lenin entered Russia on April 3, 1917, courtesy of the German High Command, returning from living in exile in Switzerland.
If you mean during WW1, while the Provisional Government was in control of Russia, Lenin returned to Petrograd on the 16th April with the help of theGerman government (because the Germans figured that if the Bolsheviks were in power of Russia, they'd withdraw from the war and even if they failed to seize power, the turmoil in Russia could only help Germany's war aims).
Vladimir Lenin was the leader of Russia from 1917 to 1922. He was a communist, and he turned Russia into the Soviet Union. Lenin was predecessor to Stalin.
Lenin returned to Petrograd in April, 1917.
