Summary/Abstract: The study deals with one of the important episodes of the collapse of the Russian Empire. It analyses the changes of the Bolsheviks’ policy towards Finland, and resulting actions – from the initial recognition of independence of the former Great Duchy of Finland through attempts to provide it with revolutionary “brotherly aid”, to a peace treaty forced by the current circumstances after a defeat in the war with Poland and the failure of the concept of growing revolution.
