Russia was fighting in World War I and then members of what would be called the Provisional government caused the Czar to step down February Revolution in 1917. This new government was then overthrown in second revolution in October 1917, and the Bolsheviks (Communists) took control. While the Bolsheviks were against the war (they believed it was just capitalists trying to make more money), they also didn't want to make a deal with any of the old countries.

When the Bolsheviks refused to make a treaty, Germany attacked Russia, and with their army wrecked by the war and revolutions, Russia was unable to stop them. They agreed to the treaty so that they wouldn't keep fighting a war that they were not going to win; Germany wanted the treaty so that they could move their armies west to fight France instead.
