The answer to the first part of the question: the leader of the Bolshevik Party around the time of the Russian Revolution and Civil War was Vladimir Lenin.
The second part of the question is incorrect - the Soviet Union was NOT in World War One. Rather, it was the Russian Empire.
The Russian Empire (headed by Tzar Nicholas III) entered WW1 on the side of the Triple Entende in 1914. In 1917, the Tzar was overthrown at the start of the Russian Revolution. He was replaced with a Republican form of government, run by the Provisional Government (headed by Prince Lvov, later by Alexander Kerensky). The Provisional Government continued Russia's participation in WW1.
Shortly afterwards, in November 1917, the Bolshevik-led people's soviets forceably ousted the Provisional Government, and installed a socialist form of government. At this time, the country was still called "Russia" or the Russian Republic. In January 1918, this new socialist government form was militarily overthrown by troops loyal to Lenin's minority Bolshevik party (more socialists belonged to the Mencheviks, not the Bolsheviks, who were the more radical). This new government under Lenin (still known as Russia) negotiated a peace treaty with Germany (the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk), taking Russia out of WW1.
However, things in Russia were not yet settled. The Russian Civil War raged from 1918 to 1922, between the Red (primarily Bolshevik socialists) and White (democratic) factions. The result was a victory for the Bolsheviks, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was formed in 1922 at the end of the Civil War.
