Any POD is fine. How can Imperial Russia be made to have ownership over the entirety of Hokkaido, either through settlement or some form of conquest?

With a POD no earlier than then beginning of the war, how much can you wank Russian war effort during WW1?

OTL : So for those who might not be familiar with the OTL Near East, the Armenian Dashnaks in 1914 decided to instigate a shock rebellion in Russian Armenia against Tsarist Russia, throwing their full weight behind a seemingly - at the time - absurd Ottoman proposal of 1914 that envisioned...

Let's say some mastermind Tallyrand-esque figure schemes together a plan to unify the three main claimants of the Roman empire and unite the Habsburg, Russian and Ottoman lands under a single personal union. How would he go about doing this? Your PoD(s) can be as ASB as need be (granted that...

To put them over Japan would require GDP per capita around the 35,000 range. With better luck and leadership is this possible or considered ASB territory?

Have the Bolsheviks fail in Russia but the CCP still take over China

The main point of divergence being no 1917 October revolution, how can we have Russia become a stable democracy and the United States into a totalitarian dictatorship? What economic system are the two governments going to run with? After what do the next 70 years look like up to 1991?

More or less what it says on the tin, I'm curious about the plausibility of, in the aftermath of the Kerensky offensive and the July Days, a Kadet-backed coup (a la Kornilov affair, perhaps with Kornilov) during the tail end of July 1917. At the time of the July Days another revolt was happening...

The 1990s in Russia were a very tough time after the Soviet Union collapsed, same in Ukraine/Belarus and other places as well. Alot of these countries have never recovered demographically (in terms of birth rates atleast) and are currently rapidly declining in population (didn't seem to effect...

I admit it's almost impossible to imagine but the Nazi Germany against the genocide Slavs is almost possible to imagine. They killed over 27,000,000 people, over 15% of the USSR's population were killed. I was wondering how the USSR would look if the German genocide was much less successful ...

I always wondered how will Russia behave as a nation if Lenin instead of being a Marxist was a right winger a la Kennedy or wanted to make Russia a country like the USA. Apart from less massive deaths or famines what would be the consequences of a rightist Lenin, extra points if Stalin is priest.

In our world's August of 1991, a group of eight senior hardliners within the dying Soviet government conspired to arrest and overthrow Boris Yeltsin. Ultimately, this coup attempt was unsuccessful, and despite their dissatisfaction with Gorbachev and Yeltsin's reforms and delegation of power to...

“The Second Patriotic War was birthed from the demise of Bismarck’s Concert of Europe, A Storm was coming, it was inevitable, and Russia needed to prepare, and the Tsar and his Union did just that, and we as a people survived because of that” - The Second Patriotic War, Grigory Anatolievich...

Basically as the tin says, are there any potential impacts of Czar Alexander I having Louise of Mecklenburg-Sterlitz (OTL Queen Consort of Prussia) as his wife instead of Elizabeth Alexeievna (Louise of Baden). While Alexander and Elizabeth loved each other at first, they did grow out of love...

On May 2nd 1813, Napoleon attacked the Russo-Prussian Army in Lutzen, Saxony. The result was the withdrawal of Coalition forces from Saxony and its capital Dresden. The main reason the Coalition lost was because their forces were spread out throught most of Eastern Germany while Napoleon had his...
