Lenin ended up taking charge.
There were two Russian Revolutions in 1917. The first, the February Revolution was not led by anyone. It began as a spontaneous demonstration by some women who were complaining about having to wait in line in the cold for hours to get bread. Eventually more and more people came into the streets demonstrating about other problems. The disturbances grew and spread to other cities. Tsar Nicholas II could not get the police or military forces to restore order and his ministers convinced him he had to abdicate to stop the rioting so he did. The Provisional Government under Prince Georgy Lvov then took over, but Lvov had not started or led the revolution. It just happened.
In the second revolution, the October Revolution, Vladimir Lenin planned and staged what was actually a military coup by his Bolshevik followers agaisnt Russia's Provisional Government by that time under Alexander Kerensky. It was not really a true "revolution" in the usual sense of the word.

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.
For hundreds of years russia had been ruled by the czars, monarchs, but as the czars slowly dragged russia back to the dark ages, a communist revolution led by vladimir lenin in 1917 created the U.S.S.R. then in 1991 the U.S.S.R was dissolved by gorbacha.
During Russia's November revolution, Vladimir Lenin led a revolt against Provisional Government. November marked the end of the revolution with a victory for Bolshevik, but it also led to the beginning of the Russian Civil War.
