The Bolsheviks took Russia out of the war after they gained power.
------------------------------------
A demurral.
Germany commanded by Von Hindenburg crushed two Russian
Armies at Tannenberg, East Prussia in August, 1914 effectively
knocking Tsarist Russia out of the Great War.
Russia engaged the Austrians and Ottomans from time to time
but was hardly a force in the War any longer.
