Lenin was the mastermind behind the October Revolution. He was put into exile in early 1917, but the Germans thought he would subvert the morale of the Russian Army, so they sent him on a train to Petrograd.

He also began plotting for the provisional government's downfall. He attempted to put his plan in action in July 1917, but it failed, and he fled to Finland.
