No, because the White movement was seriously unorganized and ending the war against Germany would've only stopped the foreign funds and aid.
From what I understand, they wouldn't have to give up as much territory as Brest-Litovsk. Even by February, the demands of the Central Powers were quite a bit more moderate. Considering that a Provisional peace-negotiation seems less likely to do a Trotsky-style walkout, it would, IMO, seem likely that the Provisional Government can emerge with a treaty a great deal more lenient.The Russian Provisional Government following the July Crisis, Kerensky agrees to a seperate peace with Germany. Giving up more or less the same territory as the Brest-Litovsk could the Russian Provisional Government and/or the Petrograd Soviet survive a Bolshevik attempt at takeover?
The Petrograd Soviet never had to worry about a Bolshevik takeover--they were essentially Bolsheviks.
As for the Provisional Government, while this does grant them quite a bit of street cred, they actually have to get the support of the Bolsheviks, the Mensheviks, the other 'sheviks, and most of the other multidinous parties in Russia before it'll actually work out. Getting the Mensheviks is really the biggest thing: they're real big in the countryside, where most of Russia's population lives. The Bolsheviks would help as well, since they would bring in a good deal of the urban population.
So, get Kerensky to make friends with the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks and you should be at least partially set.
You would have difficulty persuading the Kadets though who were taking on a very nationalistic mantle by this stage.
This is the one move which might save the Kerensky government, and no they would not be giving up "more or less" the territory of BL, they would lose Poland and Luthania at most.The Russian Provisional Government following the July Crisis, Kerensky agrees to a seperate peace with Germany.
