It was in Switzerland in early 1917 watching the revolutionary nature of the strikes from a distance with the help of other leading Bolsheviks. He went through Germany in a locked train-the Germans didn't want him in their country but at the same time they realised that the Bolsheviks wanted to end the war.

Well, after Lenin was returned to Russia, he kinda shook things up a bit. He led the Bolshevik Revolution, overthrew the Provisional Government, and established the Soviet Union. So yeah, he basically changed the course of Russian history like a boss.
Vladimir Lenin was the leader of Russia from 1917 to 1922. He was a communist, and he turned Russia into the Soviet Union. Lenin was predecessor to Stalin.
Lenin returned to Petrograd in April, 1917.

Vladimir Lenin was not in Russia during the March 1917 Revolution. With the help of Germany he returned to Russia in April of 1917. At this time with the Czar no longer in power, Lenin announced that Russia was the freest of all the belligerent nations in World War One. The center Bolshevik newspaper, Pravda was now published openly.
If you mean during WW1, while the Provisional Government was in control of Russia, Lenin returned to Petrograd on the 16th April with the help of theGerman government (because the Germans figured that if the Bolsheviks were in power of Russia, they'd withdraw from the war and even if they failed to seize power, the turmoil in Russia could only help Germany's war aims).

Vladimir Ilyanovich Lenin.
Vladimir Lenin
Vladimir Lenin was the first communist dictator of Russia after the 1917 revolution.
Nikolai Lenin, also known as Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, was a leader of the Russian Revolution, and founded the Bolsheviks. Lenin was also the first head of the USSR. Lenin lived for the good of the future, and believed that Communism was the only way to save the future generations from the present. There were two Russian Revolutions in 1917. Nikolai Lenin, properly known as Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, had virtually nothing to do with the February Revolution of 1917. It occurred without his knowledge while he was living in exile in Switzerland. He returned to Russia on April 3, 1917 and immediately began agitating against the new Provisional Government that had been set up when the Tsar abdicated. His Bolsheviks did everything they could to disrupt and undercut the Provisional Government as well as to organize resistance against it. Eventually he lead the October Revolution of 1917 in Russia, also known as the Bolshevik Revolution.
