Vladimir Lenin and the Communist Party rule after World War 1.

Before the start it was Czar Nicholas II. He abdicated the throne and the Provisional Government was set up as a temporary government. Prince Georgy Lvov was the first head and Alexander Kerensky was the second head of the Provisional Government during the war. Lenin took over in October 1917 and changed Russia's government to a socialist (a stage of society before true communism) one that was run by his group called Bolsheviks.

The Bolsheviks later changed their name to Communists. Lenin ended Russia's part in the war with the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and continued to rule after World War 1.
