The tsars were heads of state before the Russian revolution (similar to kings). The Russian leader who became known as the Red Tsar was Joseph Stalin, who lead the Communist Soviet Union from 1927 - 1953, after he established a Dictatorship by dismantling Lenin's (his predecessor) system of government.

Did Vladimir Lenin really overthrow the Tsar by himself?
Lenin never overthrew the Tsar either by himself or with the Bolshevik Party. In 1917, the February Revolution occurred while Lenin was living in Switzerland. During this revolution, the Tsar abdicated the throne, so Lenin had nothing to do with the overthrow of the Tsar. After the Tsar was overthrown, a Provisional Government was set up. Lenin overthrew that government in the October Revolution, but never overthrew the Tsar himself.
