In 1917, the revolution transferred their support of Alexander Kerensky to Valdimir Lenin. The Russian people despised the war that the tsar had gotten them into because it created starvation and misery. Thus, Lenin promised to the end the war with Germany, so when he came into power, the first thing he did was sign an armistice that released thousands of Germany troops from Russia.
The leader of Russia who sued for peace to end the war with Germany in World War I was Vladimir Lenin. After the Bolshevik Revolution in October 1917, Lenin sought to withdraw Russia from the war, believing that peace was essential for the revolution's success. This led to the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in March 1918, which officially ended Russia's involvement in the conflict.
