[ The Ukranian Brest peace accord : The Russian way of withdrawal from WW1 and anatomy of the conflict…]
Moscow: Evropa, 2007 279 p Serie: Evrovostok pbk. 14 x 21 cm ISBN: 5973900908 Language: Russian
The history of the treaty of Brest-Litovsk is a dark spot in the Russian history which is mostly known from official soviet textbooks. The lengthy relation of the negotiations that led to a separate peace between the revolutionary Russia from the one side and Germany with its allies on the other reads almost like a detective novel. What makes it especially spicy, a fact that is little known outside a tiny circle of experts, is that the Russian diplomatic defeat in Brest-Litovsk was due not only to the inconsistent adventures of the Petrograd negotiators. A key role in the game was played by a "joker". A new partner had unexpectedly joined the negotiating table, the Ukrainian Central Rada, and managed to sign a separate peace accord with many behind the back of the Petrograd delegation.
