Tsar Nicholas II was the leader of Russia before the February Revolution of 1917. Alexander Kerensky, the head of the Provisional Government instituted after the Tsar abdicated his throne, was the leader before the October or Bolshevik Revolution.
Nicholas II who was shot on 16 July 1918 along with his family and four servants by the Bolsheviks.
To clarify:
It must be understood the the Russian Revolution consisted of two revolutions in 1917 not just one. Each revolution overthrew different rulers/governments.
Tsar Nicholas II was the ruler of Russia in the first revolution, the February Revolution, when demonstrations against the Tsar forced him to abdicate. This put an end to the 300 year long Romanov dynasty. Nicholas was taken completely out of power and put under arrest by the succeeding Provisional Government.
The Russian Provisional Government ruled Russia when the second revolution, the October Revolution, also called the Bolshevik Revolution, overthrew it and took control of the government. The Bolsheviks also took custody of the Romanov family. They were kept alive for months after the October Revolution ended. During the following Russian Civil War, forces opposed to the Bolsheviks attempted to capture the Tsar and possibly restore him to the throne. In order to prevent this, Vladimir Lenin ordered them killed.
Several leaders were in charge before a revolution. However, the ultimately last leader before revolution was Tsar Nicholas II ('Bloody Nicholas') of Russia.
Czar Nickolas II (1868-1918) reigned 1894-1917.
Vladimir Lenin.
Nicholas II
Joseph Stalin was Russia's ruler during World War II.
The ruler of Russia in 1916 was Saint Nicholas II. Saint Nicholas II ruled Russia from 1894 to 1917. He was overthrown in 1917 and promptly executed.
Russia did defeat Germany and it was probably Stalins total disregard for human life that led to their success Probably not so. Stalin did not play a major part in defeating Germany. Before WWII, he slaughtered thousands of military officers that he suspected to be still loyal to Leon Trotsky who had been exiled by Stalin. The Great purge occurred which many officers were convicted of treasons had weakened Russia. It could be said that Russia wouldn't have so many death if Stalin wasn't the leader. Any competent leader would defeat Germany. The factor do not lie in Stalin or any other leader but the strength and size of the Russian army and how overstretched the German army was. The German army was overstretched and they were not equipped with proper winter clothes and were devastated by the overwhelming troops from Siberia and the eastern side of Russia. The bottomline is not in Stalin so Russia would have defeated Germany no matter who is the leader. Russia has 2 great Generals: General January & General February.
Just before Germany invaded Poland, Germany and Russia signed a non-agression pact which included a secret portion in which they agreed that after the German invasion, Russia could occupy those parts of Poland Germany did not sieze.
