Ah. Lenin signed away half of Empire (rich fertile part at that) because he was in position of strength? Russian army wasn't in collapse and melting away? Germans took what they WANTED, left leavings for Lenin. Had he not signed Russian troops whould have hanged old Lenin themselves. You do not know history very well and you show your Galichan pro-German bias.
The chief concern of Lenin was to defeat the real Russian/Ukrainian army - the White Army. And he was a German agent who was paid by the Germans.

Oh please. The fact that Lenin and the Germans used each other didn't make him a German agent. His primary goal was to survive and establish a Soviet state. To do that he had to A. end the war immediately with Germany and B defeat the Whites. Your simplistic attempt to paint a black and white picture demonstrates your lack of depth and understanding. You also have a regrettable urge to name call. You make assumptions that you have no way to back up.
