World War 1 And The Russian Revolution – Part 8 - Treaty of Brest-Litovsk (First Treaty of Brest-Litovsk)

The following photos in several parts are representing some of the events in that period. The photos are an excerpt from the book: "Ратни албум 1914-1918, Author Андра Поповић, published in Belgrade, 1926 during the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Captions above the photos, are original captions from the book, which is also on Serbian and French language.

Wikipedia: The Russian Revolution was a pair of revolutions in Russia in 1917, which dismantled the Tsarist autocracy and led to the eventual rise of the Soviet Union. The Russian Empire collapsed with the abdication of Emperor Nicholas II, and the old regime was replaced by a provisional government during the first revolution of February 1917 (March in the Gregorian calendar; the older Julian calendar was in use in Russia at the time). In the second revolution that October, the Provisional Government was removed and replaced with a communist state.
