Because the Germans knew Lenin would bring about a Communist revolution in Russia, thereby eliminating Russia as an immediate threat in the war, and allowing Germany to focus its war efforts on only one front.
The bloodless revolution, also known as the peaceful revolution or velvet revolution, was important because it marked a transition from communist rule to democracy in Central and Eastern Europe. It demonstrated that change could be achieved without resorting to violence and paved the way for democratic reforms in countries such as Czechoslovakia and East Germany. The bloodless revolution also had a significant impact on the end of the Cold War and the reunification of Germany.

He never ruled anything. He was a high ranking member of the Bolshevik leadership after the 1917 October Revolution, and was instrumental in the eventual Communist victory in the Civil War. But once Lenin died and Stalin started consolidating power, Trotsky was forced to go into exile. He was murdered in 1940 while in exile in Mexico.
Lenin believed that total repression of dissenting opinion as well as saturation with socialist propaganda were necessary for a socialist revolution in Russia to be successful. He realized that the Russian Revolutions of 1917, especially the Bolshevik Revolution of October, were not true Marxian revolutions and that therefor the time was not ripe for Marxian socialism and eventually communism to take root. Marx believed that a society had to go through a period of industrialized capitalism to create the conflicting social classes of the bourgeoisie and proletariat. Once that occurred, the proletariat would overthrow the bourgeoisie. It would be a revolution by a class of people who were ready to embrace the socialist lifestyle. This did not happen with Lenin's revolution. His was a political revolution in which his Bolshevik party, a minority political party, used military force to take over a weak government and seize power. It was not a revolution by an entire class of people. Most Russians, even socialists, were opposed to Lenin. Lenin put highly repressive measures in place to stifle all political dissent so that the people would not be convinced to overthrow the Bolshevik regime. The Russian peasants had no idea of being part of a social class who were now ready for a socialist lifestyle. To convince them otherwise, the peasants needed to be indoctrinated into that lifestyle by constant socialist propaganda that would create the necessary class consciousness for even the peasants to acquiesce to a new socialist order.

Lenin fled to Finland from Russia in July 1917 when a premature attempt at a Bolshevik takeover of power from the Provisional Government failed. He was not exiled in the sense that the Russian government forced him to leave the country or to go to Siberia. He fled more to escape arrest for the failed insurrection than just for being suspected of being a spy even though he and higher-ups in the Bolshevik Party were suspected of being either German spies or at least agents paid by the German government to foment unrest and revolution.

It rattled a lot of cages. It was the talk of the town. It was the cat's meow. Monarchs lambasted it and the Catholic clergy was certain that it was a demonic plot. Neighboring countries were willing to go to war to halt the spread of such a radical change in government.
