At the time of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, the Czar had already resigned and Russia was ruled by an official appointed by the Czar, named Kerensky. So it was the Kerensky regime against which the Bolsheviks revolted. They later executed the former Czar anyway (along with his family), not being satisfied with his mere resignation. Kerensky himself escaped and lived in exile in the US, a very smart move on his part.
