It was in Switzerland in early 1917 watching the revolutionary nature of the strikes from a distance with the help of other leading Bolsheviks. He went through Germany in a locked train-the Germans didn't want him in their country but at the same time they realised that the Bolsheviks wanted to end the war.

Lenin returned to Russia on April 3, 1917, courtesy of the German government, which wanted Lenin to create revolutionary disruptions in order to cripple Russia's war efforts in World War I. At first Lenin agitated against the Provisional Government and almost sparked a premature Bolshevik revolution. The Provisional Government tried to arrest Lenin, but he fled to Finland.

The major event was the October Revolution of 1917 in which Lenin's Bolshevik party took control of and ousted the Provisional Government that had been in place since the February Revolution of 1917. This was the beginning of Red Communist rule over Russia and the USSR.

After that the Russian Civil War broke out and Lenin's Bolshevik followers overcame the opposition to their policies and solidified Red Communist rule completely.

What did Nikolai Lenin have to do with the Russian Revolution?

Nikolai Lenin, also known as Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, was a leader of the Russian Revolution, and founded the Bolsheviks. Lenin was also the first head of the USSR. Lenin lived for the good of the future, and believed that Communism was the only way to save the future generations from the present. There were two Russian Revolutions in 1917. Nikolai Lenin, properly known as Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, had virtually nothing to do with the February Revolution of 1917. It occurred without his knowledge while he was living in exile in Switzerland. He returned to Russia on April 3, 1917 and immediately began agitating against the new Provisional Government that had been set up when the Tsar abdicated. His Bolsheviks did everything they could to disrupt and undercut the Provisional Government as well as to organize resistance against it. Eventually he lead the October Revolution of 1917 in Russia, also known as the Bolshevik Revolution.
