March 31, 1917 - Vladimir Lenin Decides to Return to Russia

On March 27, the Petrograd Soviet called on soldiers and workers to protest the Provisional Government and its continuation of the war. Soon, they would have a leader capable of making the Soviet the only power in Russia. Four days later, Vladimir Lenin decided to leave the Swiss exile he had been living for over a decade and return to Russia. The German government approved Lenin and agreed to his transit via Germany, Sweden, and Finland, back to Petrograd. A revolutionary like that, though the Germans, could stir up more trouble in Russia and lead them out of the war.
