One benefit for the soviets from signing the treaty of brest-litovsk was that is allowed

The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was what got Russia out of World War I. This gave up the Baltic State territories to Germany. This treaty allowed for temporarily relief, as the Russians were now able to focus on the Russian Civil War. This was due to the fact that they gave up land such as Poland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, and Lithuania.
