How was Germany involved in the Russian Civil War after the Paris Peace Conference?

The Russian civil war was 1917-1922. In 1922 Germany and Russia signed the Treaty of Rapallo. Also, Germany had facilitated the transit of Lenin from his exile in Switzerland to Russia.

Keep in mind that Germany had a Socialist government from 1918; they remained strong in 1920. While Socialists were feuding with the Communists, they were not exactly in favor of monarchies, wither.

Germany did not interfere in the Russian civil war after the Paris conference. Before the defeat, Germany helped Bolsheviks to seize power, and concluded the Brest treaty with them (separate peace). As a result of this treaty Germans occupied Ukraine. After the defeat, and Paris conference, they evacuated their troops from Ukraine, which made possible the conquest of the Ukraine by the Bolshevik Russia. In the later years both Bolsheviks and Germany were in international isolation, so they co-operated in many areas. But Germany did not really meddle in the Russian civil war.
