Novgorod and its surrounding regions had a distinct history from the rest of Russia until fairly recently in the grand scheme of things. Until the fall of the Republic of Novgorod in 1478 its political institutions were drastically different from the ones found further south, as a Merchant...

What if Russia was removed from Europe in crimean war ? POD is Napoleon III and Palmerston convince Austria to join the Crimean war and that a panslavic Russia is more dangerous for them than independent Poland and Ukraine. They create rebellions in Finland, Belarus, Poland and Ukraine while...

It's a well known fact that during the russian civil war there was the rise of warlords such as Makhno and Ungern who temporarily carved their own fiefdoms for a variety of reasons after the collapse of the Russian Empire This state of affairs would ultimately not last however, as the soviets...

Eastern Europe is known for remaining pagan even long after the rest of Europe had Christianized with it even many people remaining pagan in Russia centuries after it's conversion. The main POD is simply that instead of converting to orthodox Christianity, Vladimir instead remains pagan and...

Is there a way to have St Petersburg and surrounding environs independent of Russia post Napoleon (after his final defeat and the Congress of Vienna in 1815)?

Okay, I know the title sounds ASB, but hear me out. By "Soviet Union" here I mean a counterpart, not a ISOT or anything of the sort. Your challenge, if you decide to take it, is to create a pan-slavic state during the period between the fall of Rome and the fall of Constantinople. Said state...

EDIT: This is my first timeline ever, so any feedback would be really, really welcome. Thanks guys. Home of the Many Revolutions When did the 20th century truly start? Some say on the 28th of January 1919, when the First World War ended. The world would find that the German, Austrian...

Otl, since the fall of the Kievan Rus, the territory that might otherwise be a sort of rusland has never really united. Sweden and Poland jockeying for influence over the region never helped. Your goal is to make a major power out of the region.

Sweden has been the great power of northern and eastern Europe for a long time, with most historians agreeing it surpassed it's competition some time around the 1520s. With colonies in the new world, Africa, and Asia, it and France have been the empires upon which the sun hasn't set for...
