Best Answer

Lenin overthrew the Russian Provision Government headed by Alexander Kerensky. Lenin did not overthrow the Tsar.

The PG had been put in place after Tsar Nicholas II abdicated as a result of the February Revolution of 1917. The PG was supposed to be temporary until the Russian Constituent Assembly could be convened to create a new permanent government. Lenin took advantage of the weakness and unpopularity of the PG and engineered what amounted to a military coup rather than a true revolution to overthrow the Provisional Government in what has been called the October or Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.

Lenin never overthrew the Tsar either by himself or with the Bolshevik Party. In 1917, the February Revolution occurred while Lenin was living in Switzerland. During this revolution, the Tsar abdicated the throne, so Lenin had nothing to do with the overthrow of the Tsar. After the Tsar was overthrown, a Provisional Government was set up. Lenin overthrew that government in the October Revolution, but never overthrew the Tsar himself.
