Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Times History of the War, Vol. 16 Peace, above all, was desired bv the Bol shcvists, since without it the great experiment of Soviet rule in Russia could not be inaugu rated. Much less the disruption of social order the world over. One of their first public acts accordingly was to invite all the belli gerents to conclude a general truce; although meeting with no response, they sought and obtained by December 15 an armistice with the enemy on the Russian and adjacent fronts. By Christmas, 1917, formal negotiations regarding the principles of a general peace had been Opened, and these, upon the failure of the Allies to associate themselves with the B01 shevist action, culminated first on February 9, 1918, in a separate peace with South Russia, the Ukraine, which German diplomacy had manmuvred into separate existence; and secondly, on the foilowing day, in the uncon ditional surrender Of the Petrograd Bolshevists.
