Tsar Nicholas II was overthrown in the February Revolution of 1917 when he abdicated in March. Communist rule was not established until the end of October that year when the October Revolution by Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks (later renamed Communists) overthrew Russia's Provisional Government and took over.

The Russian Czar was never taken over by the Communists. Czar Nicholas II abdicated his throne in March 1917 when he lost control of the general populace and the army during the revolt by the general public. The Communists, at the time called Bolsheviks, did not take control of the country until October 1917 when they took control away from Alexander Kerensky and the Provisional Government.

There was never ‘Communist rule’ in Russia. Communism is a classless stateless society with no rulers and no government. Lenin set up a state capitalist Dictatorship.

What was the new name of the Russian socialist revolutionaries in 1922?

By 1922, the Russian socialist revolutionaries who had taken over Russia were known as "Communists."

What Russian czar was forced to give up his throne during the Russian Revolution?

Did the Bolsheviks overthrow the czar?

No, they didn't. The Czar was overthrown, actually forced to abdicate, by the workers, soldiers and peasants who revolted in Petrograd (St. Petersburg) in 1917. The February Revolution took Lenin, who was in Switzerland at the time, and the Bolsheviks completely by surprise. The Czar's ministers and military leaders realized the Czar no longer had any power to stop the demonstrations and strikes in Petrograd and convinced him to abdicate in March 1917.
