To quell the anti-government demonstrations, the provisional government closed down the Bolsheviks. After the Bolsheviks were closed down, Lenin went into hiding, but came back to Russia on 7 October, 1917 and started planning the revolution. He proposed a government based on the Soviets. This would indirectly mean that Russia's government would consist mainly for the worker's interest. Support for the provisional government collapsed, and most of the Russians started to support his communist ideals.
Finally, under Lenin's leadership, on the 25th of October, the Bolsheviks seized the capital of Russia.
In summary, Lenin charmed the masses with his strong pro-communism arguments and his promises to reform Russia , paving the path to the creation of Communist Russia.
