Lenin did not lose his power in Russia as much as he became too ill to exercise it. In 1922 he suffered a serious stroke and lost some ability to speak and write. He suffered another stroke after that and was confined completely unable to communicate and was confined to a wheelchair. In that condition he actually asked for someone to give him poison so he could die, but no one could bring himself to do that. In 1924 he suffered a massive stroke that killed him. Had Lenin not had the debilitating strokes he would have remained in power.

Firstly its the Tsar,

Tsar Nicolas was always a weak Tsar due to the throne being inherited (he wanted to be a family man) rather than on a vote of confidence. He witnessed his grandfathers assassination and was worried the same fate would befall him, also his only son his heir Alexis had haemophillia. This disheartened him greatly.

The war incited the russian population to a frenzy with morale and fervor however he did not accout for the stronger german side crushing his "Peasants in uniform".

A vote of confidence was held and with only 187 out of 856 supporting the Tsar he was abolished in a railways carrige 3km from Petrograd

No, the Tsar had been overthrown in March 1917. Lenin overthrew the Provisional Government which had been put in place after the Tsar abdicated.
