What event immediately preceded Russia’s decision to withdraw from World War I?

The overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II in the February Revolution of 1917 destabilized Russia and began the political upheaval that led to its withdrawal from the war. Later, the Bolsheviks took power and signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany in 1918. Germany did not capture Moscow, and neither the withdrawal of Allied support nor US entry immediately preceded Russia’s decision.
