While searching for a possible way for the Soviet Union to exist after a central power victory I stumble upon this : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Brest-Litovsk
Poland, Lithuania and Courland, already occupied by the Central Powers, were determined to separate from Russia, on the principle of self-determination that the Bolsheviks themselves espoused. Joffe "looked as if he had received a blow on the head".[13] Pokrovsky wept as he asked how they could speak of "peace without annexations when Germany was tearing eighteen provinces away from the Russian state".[14] The Germans and Austro-Hungarian planned to annex slices of Polish territory and to set up a rump Polish state with what remained, while the Baltic provinces were to become client states ruled by German princes.
Now in our original timeline the bolshevik refuse the original treaty causing the German to launch a new general offensive, forcing Lenin to come back to the negotiating table with a much more harsher treaty of Brest- litovsk treaty which we came to know of . But what if the communist actually accept the original treaty? Could we see a resurgent Soviet Union in an alternate timeline where Germany emerge victorious in ww1 ?
