Under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin, the Bolshevik party pushed forward a successful coup d'etat against the provisional government of Russia on November 7, 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.
