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.

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.

The Bolshevik Revolution, also known as the October Revolution of 1917, took place mainly in Petrograd, Russia, but it occurred in many other larger cities as well.

When the Provisional Government in Petrograd proved to be no better than Tsarist rule, the people refused to support it.

The socialist were fooled into thinking that the Bolsheviks truly intended to honor the principles of the revolution and give power to the Soviet councils or to the people themselves. They did not realize that Lenin and the Bolsheviks had no intention of allowing anyone other than themselves to exercise any type of political power.
