Stalin had little to do with the actual take over of the government by Lenin, Trotsky and the Bolsheviks. At the time he was editor of the Bolshevik newspaper, Robachi put. On the night before the revolution he was finishing the last edition when Provisional Government police broke in and smashed the printing equipment.

He was then given the task of meeting with and speaking to the Bolshevik delegates of the Second Congress of Soviets to explain the need for the insurrection at that time. He did this, went home and the Revolution took place the next day.

Stalin had no role in the February Revolution since he was in exile in Siberia at the time. He returned to Petrograd immediately after Tsar Nicholas II abdicated.

Stalin had no particular visible role in the insurrection that was the October Revolution. While other Bolsheviks had been given specific tasks like seizing telegraph offices or railyards, Stalin was busy editing the Bolshevik newspaper "Robachii put" (The Workers Way).
