I was wondering if the Allies in WW1 Let the Germans keep The Brest lestov gains as the Russians made a separate peace with Germans in 17 so they do not deserve anything from Versellise.
Article 126 of the Treaty of Versailles explicitly abrogated / cancelled the Treaty of Brest Litovsk; please see this extract from Part III of the Treaty titled Russia and Russian States:That's OTL, Russia was not officially represented at the peace conference anyway; they didn't participate in the treaties and didn't gain anything from Versailles. Brest-Litovsk was not annuled on Russia's behalf, it was replaced by the newly free nations of eastern Europe. Letting Germany (re-)establish hegemony over them would have been absurd.

Allied official policy was to support the newly independent states, not give them back to Russia.Article 126 of the Treaty of Versailles explicitly abrogated / cancelled the Treaty of Brest Litovsk; please see this extract from Part III of the Treaty titled Russia and Russian States:
