Best Answer

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.
