There was no March Revolution, per se, in Russia. There was the February Revolution and there was the October Revolution. The difference lies in the fact that February on the Julian calendar is the same a March on the Gregorian calendar. Most historians refer to it as the February Revolution, just as they refer only to he October Revolution.
Primarily, the February Revolution ended with Nickolas II abdicating the throne and Imperial parliament ( the Duma) taking control of the government by establishing the Russian Provisional Government.
The October Revolution ended with the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, and the workers' Soviets, overthrowing the Provisional Government. Lenin was named Chairman of the Peoples Commisars of the RFSFR on November 8, 1917.

When did the bolshevik revolution take place?
The Russian Revolution was actually three revolutions. The first was in 1905, but it did not accomplish much aside from the creation of the weak Russian Parliament called the Duva. The Czarist regime maintained real power.The second was the February Revolution of 1917. This resulted in the abdication of Czar Nicholas II and the overthrow of the Czarist government. The revolutionaries could not agree on how the new country would be governed and they split into factions. Two factions were the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks, which led to the third revolution.The third revolutions was the October Revolution of 1917, which was more like a civil war than a revolution. The Bolsheviks under Lenin succeeded in wresting full power over the new government, which became the USSR.Yes, so called "The Great October Revolution" happened in 1917. But the 1st (unsuccessful) revolution was in 1905 and Tsar Nikolas had been dethroned in February 1917. So there were three revolutions, not just one.
Who overthrew the Russian government in 1918 and established a communist government there?
Vladimir Lenin and his Bolshevik Party supporters overthrew the Russian Provisional Government in November 1917. This revolution was nothing more than a military coup engineered by Lenin and the Bolsheviks, which was tolerated by most workers, peasants and soldiers because the existing Provisional Government just wasn't working properly. The Bolshevik Revolution was not one in which the general populace rose up and took over the government. The existing Provisional Government was weak and unpopular among the workers, peasants and soldiers, but it was more unpopular with the Bolshevik Party who wanted power, so they stepped in and took it practically without firing a shot.
