Lenin replaced the Provisional Government (PG) then headed by Alexander Kerensky when Lenin and the Bolsheviks seized power on October 25, 1917 (Julian calendar). Kerensky had replaced Prince Georgy L'vov as head of the PG. The Provisional Government under L'vov had replaced Tsar Nicholas II as the governing authority in Russia after the February Revolution of 1917. Joseph Stalin replaced Lenin after Lenin died.

Who tried to take power away from Lenin?

Joseph Stalin along with Grigory Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev tried to take power from Lenin when Lenin was disabled by strokes. These three ran the government in Lenin's absence as he recovered and continued to do so secretly even when Lenin returned to work. The three would make governmental decisions in secret meetings after the general meetings that Lenin attended. Stalin restricted access to Lenin when Lenin was recovering. Stalin's biggest move for power was after Lenin made him Secretary General of the Communist Party. Once in that post, Stalin placed people loyal to him in many governmental offices.
