Lenin promised to end Russia's involvement in World War I; replace the capitalist system with a socialist one; put an end to the private ownership of property; redistribute land to the peasants; end the oppression of the Tsarist regime; and in general give the people a say in how government was run.
Unfortunately, once he was in power he realized that in order to stay in power he could not give the people of Russia a say in how their government was run nor could he allow any opinions even from Bolsheviks themselves that were contrary to his. Thus he became even more oppressive than the Tsars had been.

Lenin's plan was called the "New Economic Policy."
A democratic form of government was not part of Lenin's plan. Lenin never intended for the new government to be a democratic government, that is, open to all citizens. He believed that it was necessary to keep government in the hands of a small group of like-minded people so that the gains made by the revolution would not be lost. That meant that only members of the Bolshevik Party were going to be allowed to hold high offices in it and the Bolshevik, later Communist, Party would never lose control of the government no matter what the people of Russia wanted. Freedom to oppose his policies was not to be allowed either.
