Lenin ended Russia's involvement in World War I by entering the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany and the other Central Powers in 1918.
Lenin had been exiled from Russia for fomenting unrest with the Czar. He was living in Switzerland during most of the war. The Germans helped him get back home, through "The Finland Station". This worked out for Germany in WWI, because the October 1917 Revolution which Lenin led resulted in Russian withdrawal from the war, but it came back to bite them in WWII, when the Russians overran eastern Germany and stayed there for more than forty years.

No, they were adamantly against it and promised the people of Russia that they would end the war if they were in power. However, when they were in power, they didn't end the war as quickly as everyone expected. Germany wanted too many concessions and Lenin was unwilling to agree so he kept a defensive war going while stalling peace talks hoping the Allies would defeat Germany. Germany tired of Lenin's tactics and began a march on Petrograd to unseat the Bolshevik regime. That's when Lenin signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and ended Russia's involvement in the war.
