Lenin was living in self-imposed exile in Switzerland at the onset of World War 1. In April, 1917, with the help of the German government, he went back to Russia. In July 1917, he fled to Finland to escape the Tsarist police after an attempt to overthrow the Tsar failed. Then Lenin came back into Russia, hid out until the October Revolution and remained in Russia until the end of World War 1.

∙ 14y agoNo, Lenin was actively against Russia's involvement in World War I. In fact that issue is probably what most enabled him to take over the government in the October Revolution of 1917. Tsar Nicholas II kept Russia in the war despite appalling casualties. When the Tsar abdicated in March 1917, the new Provisional Government sought to keep Russia in the war as well. The new Provisional Government lost the support of the people because of this and other issues and Lenin simply stepped in and took power from the now unpopular Provisional Government.
