It was largely an accident of history that Lenin was able to exploit widespread dissatisfaction with the Russian participation in WW I, by presenting Marxism as an alternative to war. Russia had really never known anything other than despotic regimes, and had no reason to trust the Kerensky regime that had been installed to replace the Czar after the first Russian Revolution in 1917 forced the Czar to abdicate his throne.
