This would have been a major rout by the Russians, if they could have got General Evert off his duff long enough to get involved in the battle plan. Frankly I'm amazed General Brusilov didn't shoot him for insubordination. If you're counting men lost, it's hard to tell who won, although the Russians did manage to take Austria-Hungary effectively out of the war.
