Georgy Lvov was the first post Tsarist leader after the abdication of Tsar Nicholas, from 23rd March to 7th July, 1917, when he resigned due to lack of support. He was arrested by the Bolsheviks later in the year, but escaped to France. Aleksander Kerensky was next from 21st July to 8th November, 1917, and was ousted by the Bolsheviks and a general lack of support. Vladimir Lenin was elected on 8th November, 1917, and served until forced to retire due to ill health in 1922.
Vladimir Lenin was already the leader of the Bolshevik Party when Germany shipped him to Russia in the famous diplomatically sealed train. Thus, Lenin did not "become the leader of the Bolsheviks "after" Germany sent him to Russia. Lenin had formed the Bolsheviks in 1903 and was their leader even while he was living in self-imposed exile in Switzerland. Germany sent him back to Russia in April 1917.
The Russian Revolution happened in 1917, and World War I took place in the years 1914-1918. So therefore, they both influenced the other. The war helped bring about the Revolution because the leader of the Provisional Government, Kerensky, decided to keep the war going although Russia was doing poorly. He even announced a new offensive. The soldiers didn't like the idea, and refused to move up to the front, and about 2 million soldiers had quit the Russian army because of it. The soldiers and Bolsheviks campaigned against the war, and many were arrested. There was a conflict between the Bolsheviks and the Provisional Government, and on October 24-25, 1917, the Bolsheviks revolted against the Provisional Government and succeeded. Lenin, a Bolshevik leader, was given power. Lenin vowed to end the war, and was able to make a peace treaty with Germany, pulling Russia out of the war. Germany wanted peace in the east so their troops could be transferred to the western front. but Germany also wanted nationalist uprisings against the Bolsheviks, so the peace treaty was prolonged until early 1918, when Germany forced Russia to sign the peace treaty. Then, Russia was officially out of the war.
Lenin and the Bolsheviks led the October Revolution of 1917. It is also referred to as the Bolshevik Revolution or the Communist Revolution.
