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.
