Question regarding Russian Revolution

Hello there,

I have a question regarding the Russian Revolution. I hope this one is a new one and not already answered somewhere else. If so, I apologise in advance and would like to have a link to the matching answer.

This said, in general, the conditions to meet the revolution are clear to me. I think there is nothing to discuss: 3 territories adjacent to Moscow under control of the CP, not being contested + another original Russian territory like Poland under control of the CP, not being contested + Moscow not being controlled by the CP.

What happens in the following situation?
Imagine Sevastopol is controlled by Austria, then at some point got attacked by the British, making it contested with no Russian troops present.
The CP now manages to meet the conditions for the Russian Revolution and Russia offers the armistice which gets accepted by the CP. What happens to Sevastopol (or Kazakhstan and so on) in such a state?

Will it be considered a shared territory between Russia and the CP? And therefore creating a barrier for the Entente?

or

Will it be considered a contested territory between the Entente and the CP? And therefore creating no barrier for the Entente?

@Krieghund Thank you very much.

In addition to that I have two follow-up questions:

• 1a ) What happens to Entente forces in a shared territory? Can they freely move out to attack CP territory? For example: Moscow is shared and there are 5 British troops. Poland is controlled by Germany. Can these British troops engage Poland? I think not, because a shared territory is like a contested one and therefore prohibiting any advancing movement.

• 1b ) If the territory is not shared these troops could freely move out and attack, right?

• 2 ) After the revolution has occured is Moscow counted as a conquered capital for the Central Powers? In my understanding this is not the case. So the Central Powers still have to conquer two capitals like Paris and Rome.
