Although, towards the end, it was every man for himself, or in this scenario, every country for itself. The Russians realized that soon the allies will be turning against each other. Eventually, one of their own allies will betray them. Admittedly, the Russians were guilty of this as well. Although the alliance between them and Austria-Hungary was binding them through a contract, it was not legal, it could be broken at any time. And that is what the Russians did, they broke the contract with Austria-Hungary by attacking and dominating their land once again. That was a difficulty the Russian leader was awaiting. Fortunately, the Russians did not suffer due to that. The Russian leader was very faithful towards his allies. And also was a dear companion with the English and the French leader. Perhaps they bonded over a cup of tea or a simple game of Russian roulette, one is not sure. But their mutual alliance served them well and had not been broken throughout the
