Lenin was not a German spy in the sense that he was employed by Germany and acting solely on its instructions or reporting secrets of state back to it. Nevertheless, Germany did give money to Lenin and the Bolsheviks to help them stir up trouble and be disruptive to the Russian war effort if not touch off an outright revolution.Lenin and the Bolsheviks were accused of being German agents once word got out that he and the Bolsheviks were receiving money from Germany.

What was the difference between Alexander Kerensky's leadership and Vladimir Lenin's?

The essential difference between the two is that Kerensky was a capitalist while Lenin was a socialist/communist. Kerensky wanted to continue Russia's part in World War 1 and not change the system of ownership of land. Lenin wanted to end Russia's part in the war and redistribute land from its owners to the peasants that worked them. Kerensky allowed dissent. Lenin did not. Kerensky did not exile, imprison or execute people who did not follow his orders. Lenin did. Kerensky was democratic. Lenin was autocratic.

Where was Lenin exiled to when thought he was a spy?

Lenin fled to Finland from Russia in July 1917 when a premature attempt at a Bolshevik takeover of power from the Provisional Government failed. He was not exiled in the sense that the Russian government forced him to leave the country or to go to Siberia. He fled more to escape arrest for the failed insurrection than just for being suspected of being a spy even though he and higher-ups in the Bolshevik Party were suspected of being either German spies or at least agents paid by the German government to foment unrest and revolution.


What was the 'sealed train' Lenin used to return to Russia from Germany in 1917?

It was a diplomatically-sealed train originating in Switzerland and bound for Russia, traversing Germany and Sweden. The Germans allowed the transit, not taking any chances that Lenin would disembark in Germany to spread his Communist propaganda, but fully welcoming the idea of him inciting revolt in Russia, which was at war with Germany. For this, Lenin's foes in Russia had denounced him as a "German spy". While he most likely was not anybody's spy, the revolution he eventually led certainly played into Germans' hands.
