Best Answer

Lenin did not overthrow the Tsar. The Tsar was forced to abdicate because he could not stop the rioting that became known as the February Revolution. At the time Lenin was in Switzerland in self-imposed exile. He didn't even know about it until after it happened.

Did Vladimir Lenin really overthrow the Tsar by himself?

Lenin never overthrew the Tsar either by himself or with the Bolshevik Party. In 1917, the February Revolution occurred while Lenin was living in Switzerland. During this revolution, the Tsar abdicated the throne, so Lenin had nothing to do with the overthrow of the Tsar. After the Tsar was overthrown, a Provisional Government was set up. Lenin overthrew that government in the October Revolution, but never overthrew the Tsar himself.
