Vladmir lenin went to Finland after being exiled in Russia
Lenin did not have to cross battle lines. He was allowed through Germany and travelled on to Russia by way of Finland, where there was no fighting at the time.
Lenin put his trust into Joseph Stalin at that time, to protect him. Stalin did the duty of shaving Lenin's beard and smuggling him to Finland.

Vladimir Lenin came to power via a October Revolution in Russia in 1917, which brought an end to Czarist Russia and started the creation of a Communist State.
Lenin ousted Alexander Kerensky, head of Russia's Provisional Government, which had replaced Tsar Nicholas II. Lenin did not overthrow the Tsar.

Alexander the Great
He destroyed Russian Empire.
Germany sent him back!
Lenin fled from Russia to Finland to avoid being arrested by the forces of the Russian Provisional Government. There had been an attempted revolution by other political parties and soldiers against the Provisional Government in early July 1917. It failed and many of the revolutionaries were arrested, imprisoned or exiled. To avoid this, Lenin left the country for a short time then snuck back into Russia disguised as a railway worker. Lenin even had Joseph Stalin shave his beard off so he would not be recognized.
