Did the Bolsheviks overthrow the czar?
No, they didn't. The Czar was overthrown, actually forced to abdicate, by the workers, soldiers and peasants who revolted in Petrograd (St. Petersburg) in 1917. The February Revolution took Lenin, who was in Switzerland at the time, and the Bolsheviks completely by surprise. The Czar's ministers and military leaders realized the Czar no longer had any power to stop the demonstrations and strikes in Petrograd and convinced him to abdicate in March 1917.
