After Lenin was returned to Russia he played a role in orchestrating the October Revolution. He returned to Russia in 1917 after the Tsar was ousted.

Never, prime minister role (Premier) was introduced in 1990s in modern Russia. Lenin (Ulyanov), leader of communist revolution, became self-proclaimed leader in 1917 and remained in power until his death in April 1926
Lenin ended Russia's participation in WW I, recognizing the need to concentrate Russia's efforts on establishing their own new government, since the 1917 Revolution had only just occurred not long before he took over.
They fought to overthrow the Provisional government and established communism in Russia.
Vladimir Lenin;s older brother, Alexander, had been a Marxist revolutionary. Subversive activities in Russia were always subject to betrayal among conspirators. Alexander was arrested and hanged by the Romanov dynasty. This surely played a role in his passion to topple the Romanovs.
Lenin didn't do anything during the cold war. The Cold War started after WWII and Lenin died before that in 1924.
In 1917, he made the Russian soldiers withdraw from the war.
During the February Revolution, Vladimir Lenin had been living in exile in Switzerland. Though historians disagree about specifics, they concur that the government of Germanydeliberately facilitated Lenin's return to his homeland in the spring of 1917. Without question, the German leadership did so with the intent of destabilizing Russia. The Germans provided Lenin with a guarded train that took him as far as the Baltic coast, from which he traveled by boat to Sweden, then on to Russia by train. There is also evidence that Germany funded the Bolshevik Party, though historians disagree over how much money they actually contributed.
Lenin played no part in the February Revolution of 1917. He was living in exile in Switzerland at the time and was actually taken by surprise that it happened. The February Revolution was a spontaneous uprising by the people of St. Petersburg that spread to other cities. Lenin returned to Russia courtesy of the German High Command of World War I, because the Germans hoped he would cause further revolution in Russia and take it out of the war.
Lenin had no role whatsoever in the February Revolution in Russia in 1917. At the time, he was living in exile in Switzerland writing revolutionary articles and having them smuggled into Russia, but nothing he did or wrote touched off the revolution. In fact he didn't even hear about it until it was all but over.
That depends which one of Russia's revolutions you're talking about in 1917. He didn't play a significant role in the first one, which was a revolution of the people, but in the second, the November revolution, I believe he played a significant role as he was in charge of the Red Guard, the MRC, and was also the 'leader' of the Petrograd Soviet, which gave him authority and power over a group of people who ultimately revolted on his and Lenin's order.Some believe that Trotsky didn't do much; however, that was just propaganda Stalin spread in order to make himself look better.Trotsky in Russian RevolutionTrotsky was head of the Red Army, for one thing. trotsky played a vital role in the build up of revolutionary concepts within Russia during 1917, following his return from exile in May 1917. He joined the Bolshevik party in July that year, and participated along with Lenin in the failed uprising of his party in the same month. As a result of his failed efforts, he was imprisoned by the Kerensky government, but was released in September in order to maintain his role within the September uprising of the Bolshevik's. In November he was appointed by Lenin as peoples comissioner for foreign affairs, where he played out the rest of his year in the heavily influential position appointed to him.
