To what extent valdimir lenin was significant to russias change from tsarist regime to communism

Vladimir Lenin headed the bolshevik party of the collectivist rebellion groups. While the other groups were all fighting for power, Lenin was playing 4-D chess and sided with the Germans (which spear-headed the uprising to get Russia out of WW1) for a time. After the Germans helped Lenin secure funding and claim his throne amidst the revolutionaries, he got rid of them, and became the ruler of post revolution Russia. So...he was basically the father of the Russian Revolution.

idk you know what i mean hahahaha
