Another case of "the Entente must always win lololool".
Why on earth should Russia, who got massively screwed over by their erstwhile allies, who carved puppet states out of Russian territory, suddenly start to love them again. Russia and Britain were never best friends, so to speak, and France has lost any good will it had with it propping up Finland, the Baltics and Poland.
And why on earth should the Baltic states suddenly start to feel any love for their former overlord. If there were an independent Ukraine or Belarus, it would be obvious that they would end up under Russian influence again in one way or another, but Baltic nationalists were by definition hardcore anti-Russian. Same goes for Finland. Entente Romania has snatched Bessarabia, which Russia considered its own, and snatched Bulgarian territory on top of that.
It's not a given (and somewhat unlikely) that Germany/Italy and Russia stay best friends forever. Therefore Russia can still say that for now they help Germany/Italy to get rid of hubristic, arrogant and treacherous France, recover what they've lost and then liberate the Czechs/Slovaks/whomever. But there is little point in Russia helping the Entente to maintain the status quo, and when they helped Germany (or the other way around) to crush France's Polish puppet, they did exactly that. During the interwar era IOTL, irredentism as a rule triumphed most other issues. And abandoning areas such as FInland, the Baltics or Bessarabia, which most Russians would want to get back ASAP to prop up faraway Czechia, and to help the nations which carved up the Russian Empire seems really ASB to me. And in this scenario, you can either support Bulgaria OR Serbia, not both, since they hate each others gut, and Bulgaria actually has parts of its territory, populated by ethnic Bulgars on top of that, snatched by Romania, another country which should not be on Russia's friend list, so to speak.
What are you going on about now ..I simply asked a legitimate question that needs to be answered and your off on some CP rant that has absolutely no basis in fact and absolutely no place in a rational discussion.
In any case you have not answered any of the legitimate questions put..so they still stand and stand a major stumbling block..
as to the Entente carving parts out of Russia...please...That was imposed by the Central powers not the Entente Western allies or did I mis - read something.... They simply inherited that political baggage when they defeated the Central powers themselves,
after Imperial Russia had made their own separate peace. the Baltics, Finland and Poland where the CP's doing not the Entente...its not like the Russians were in any position to reimpose their rule in the aftermath in any case were they. Bessarabia to Romania...Romania is not The Anglo-French Entente allies...They are Romania. They themselves were overrun after being essentially coerced/influenced to enter as a Russian ally ( The king would have preferred to enter as a German all, but I'm digressing) I think the point is made.
We are to believe that the CP harbour all this revanchist angst with respect to their loss for 20 years and what the Russians say lets be great buds and throw their own cultural kin to the wolves all for the sake of a few small states that they have no common ethnic bond and which in TTL they probably dominate politically and economically as well in any case (NO soviet ideological divide driving the wall between them even higher). Instead its more likely that there are politicians on both sides of the border of a like-minded political orientation thought the Baltic politicians will also be coloured by their nationalism, but economic realities are likely to come more to the fore in this round and be given more credence.
Again, the Western Slavs were the pet project of the Tsars, under any White regime that follows and especially one that has the Tsar as the Executive authority even in a constitutional function is not throwing that away without a damn good political reason and the author simply has not provided anything that is even remotely credible as yet to explain it, which is all that was asked. so as stated this nothing but unsubstantiated drivel. the author is perfectly free to persist without credible explanation, but don't cry foul when someone points out when something is just plain WRONG and thoroughly misreads the attitudes and politics of the time period.
And while the fact that the Russians left their allies in a lurch to make a separate peace and save their skins is going to wrankle considerably with the Entente allies re-investing in the Russians is still the best option for the French. At some point the French will be throwing their money into Russian industry and infrastructure to help their former allies because their still the best bet to contain any German and Italian revanchism. they did afterall demand considerable reparations, there were no doubt many in Russia this time around that thought..."if only they had stuck it out" but of course we all know how that turns out. Undoubtably, though it brought down at least one post war Russian government This time around and probably tainted another successive one, before the situation stabilized. Only with ensuing War with Poland that restored some measure of prestige for the White Russian regime have they restored themselves as credible political force in the east capable of acting as a credible protector for their cultural kin in the Western and South Slav successor regimes of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires.
Under no circumstances are they pissing that away for gains that are already essentially theirs in all but name anyways. the Soviet regime because of ideology had to conquer these regions to control them, because they diverged on too many fundamental points. A "White Russian regime"...NOT SO MUCH.
btw..if the Entente powers had wanted to Screw over their Russian ally as you had implied with the earlier comment about carving out puppet states.... They would have made peace with Sweden based on the Status quo. It was afterall Russian actions that brought them into the war and they are out of the picture at that point so the remaining Entente allies really have no axe to grind with them. Making them an independent republic makes sure that neither party benefits immediately and offers the Russians the opportunity to exert their influence postwar if they choose. Something they wouldn't have been able to do if the personal union had persisted. I don't think the Finns want to be in anyone's camp at this point but they have potential enemies all around in the immediate term.
Also, where are all these French puppets on the Russian border. Its not like the French are in a position to project their influence long term. As the White regime gains stability in the aftermath The French would have relinquished that region back to the Russian sphere of influence. Even they know they can't play European policeman forever, and they honestly must realize they don't have the resources nor the desire to do so forever. Germany and Italy however...An entirely different story and they need watching closely in the aftermath.
