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

The overthrow of the tsar in 1917 began the Russian Revolution and weakened Russia’s ability to continue fighting. Later that year, the Bolsheviks took power and moved to end Russia’s participation in the war. The German capture of Moscow did not occur, and neither US entry nor the withdrawal of Allied support prompted Russia’s decision.
