	April 16, 1917, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin arrived at Finland Station, Petrograd, and issued his “April Theses” calling for “All Power to the Soviets” and the overthrow of the Russian Provisional Government. The German government (aligned with the international bankers) permitted Lenin to cross Germany from Switzerland, via Sweden and Finland, to Petrograd in a sealed railway car so that he and his followers could return to Russia and join forces with Leon Trotsky following the outbreak of the Russian Revolution (February 1917).

Lenin rallied the Bolshevik Party around his call for armed insurrection and launched it on an organized propaganda campaign to secure the allegiance of the disgruntled masses. By the October Revolution of 1917, the Bolsheviks had won the support of the people and were able to wrest power from the Provisional Government, thereby ushering communism into Russia and ending the 1,000-year-old Russian monarchy.
