The communists succeeded in overthrowing the Provisional Government in the November 1917 Revolution primarily due to widespread discontent among the Russian populace, exacerbated by ongoing economic hardship, military failures in World War I, and the lack of land reforms. The Bolsheviks, led by Lenin, capitalized on this unrest by promising "peace, land, and bread," which resonated with soldiers, peasants, and workers. Their organized and disciplined approach, along with effective Propaganda and the support of key soviets, enabled them to swiftly seize control of key infrastructure and government buildings in Petrograd. Ultimately, the Provisional Government's inability to address the critical issues facing the country led to its rapid collapse.

No, they were not. The czar was toppled in the February Revolution of 1917 when the army and police refused to obey his orders to quell rioting and demonstrations against his rule were going on in Petrograd, Moscow and other cities. An interim government called the Provisional Government was created to govern until a Constitutional Assembly could be elected to make a new constitution. The "communists" (at that time still named Bolsheviks) toppled the Provisional Government in the October Revolution of 1917. By this time, the czar had already been defeated and was no longer in power. So, to be precise, the czar was not defeated by the communists.
