Vladimir Lenin was the leader of the Bolshevik Party with many thousands of followers. In 1917, they staged the October Revolution and deposed the existing Provisional Government, which had been set up after the Tsar abdicated the previous March. The Bolshevik Party with its military force, the Red Guard, took over all organs of government and declared itself in power. Most people were glad to see the Provisional Government go, so they did not rise to its defense. The Bolsheviks were in power but barred all other political parties from participating in the government.
The Russian Civil War broke out but Lenin's Red forces defeated the opposing White forces. During the Civil War, more than a year after the Tsar had stepped down and about nine months after the October Revolution, Lenin ordered the execution of Tsar Nicholas and his entire family. Once the Civil War was over, Lenin and the Bolsheviks were in sole power over Russia.
