The Bolsheviks did not seize power during the Russian Civil War. They had already seized governmental power from the Provisional Government in 1917. The civil war is generally figured to have started in 1918. The Bolsheviks managed to retain their power, not seize it, by winning the civil war.

The Bolsheviks took power from the Russian Provisional Government in November 1917 (October according to the Russian calendar). At that time the Provisional Government had already replaced Tsar Nicholas II and by November it was headed by Alexander Kerensky. The Bolsheviks did not seize power from Tsar Nicholas II. The Provisional Government was set up in place of the Tsar's government to maintain order and run the country until a new constitution could be written.
Lenin took power from the Russian Provisional Government headed at that time by Alexander Kerensky. Lenin did not take power from or overthrow the Tsar. That has already been done by the time Lenin took control.
The Bolsheviks successfully seized power in Russia by capitalizing on popular discontent with the Provisional Government, organizing a military uprising in Petrograd, and gaining support from the urban working class and the military. They also used propaganda and promises of land, peace, and bread to rally support for their cause.
