Bolshevik Russia gave up close to half its European territory and recognized the independence of Ukraine.It was 'the most derogatory and humiliating treaty' for Russia, which considered as an act of treason.
On the other side it did provide some relief to the Bolsheviks, already fighting the Russian Civil War.
