After death Queen Anna of Cili in 1416, Vladislaus Jogaila was looking for third wife. Two main candidates were Elizabeth of Luxembourg, proposed by her uncle Sigismund, and Maria Vasilievna, daughter of Vasili I of Moscow and Sophia of Lithuania-she was proposed by her grandfather Vytautas...

Alexander Jagiellon was't very fortunate ruler, so let's improve his reign a bit. ITTL Alexander is more capable, healthlier and more lucky. Let's start with his marriage: Helen of Moscow gives him a son in 1498 and dies in childbirth (Alexander would not consider it fortunate event, he really...

What if the standoff between Akhmat Khan and Ivan III, rather than leading to the Tatars withdrawing and de facto recognizing Muscovite independence, boils over into a full-fledged battle? Which side would win? What would be the repercussions of a Muscovite victory, or conversely a Golden Horde...

What if the Cossack revolt led by Stenka Razin in early 1670's Russia had been much more successful in its scope? I don't think Razin could have succeeded in utterly destroying the tsarist government -- the boyars, the tsar and the patriarchate were against him for the entirety of the rebellion...

Let's say that during the XVI century Muscovy balkanizes somehow and no other state unifies Russia before the XIX century. What's going to happen to the rest of Europe? Any thoughts? Also if you know a TL that involves this PoD, please say it.

The PoD in this tale is the marriage between “King” Jadwiga and Duke Jogaila. It doesn’t happen, and Poland’s armies cannot be brought to bear again the northern Crusaders. This is my first real scenario that I've developed, so feel more than free to levy any critiques you can think of...

The Battle Of Orsha was perhaps the most decisive moment of the Muscovite-Lithuanian Wars. The muscovites were confident that they could reunite the whole of the former Kievan Rus' lands, while the Lithuanians, alongside their polish allies, were a target of such expansionism. However, after...

The first part is that Hetman Khmelnytsky continues his attack on Poland through the election King Jon II so as to not lose momentum. Then perhaps defeating and/or capturing the King as he was almost captured at the battle of Zbroriv, except earlier on, and farther west. Would Poland actually...

The russo-polish war of the early 17th century was sparked by conflicts emerging from the Time of Troubles, when Muscovy was suffering a dynastic succession war, and from a proposed dynastic union between the commonwealth and Muscovy, which only enticed political greed from both sides. The...
