Entry: The "Good War" and the Terrible Peace Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_good_war_and_the_terrible_peace#29582 Post contents: Hanson thinks that it was a great injustice that Russia had to give up Poland, Finland, the Baltic Republics, Ukraine and the Caucasus in the Brest-Litovsk treaty. After the German defeat in 1918 Russia could re-conquer all these states with the exception of Poland and Finland. After 1989 all these states became independent again, and moreover Belarus. That means that the partition of Russia by the Brest-Litowsk treaty was not so much due to German meanness but was a quite natural development and a triumph of democratic principles.
