The geopolitical situation for the 55 years after World War Two was defined by the Cold War, the showdown between the Liberal, Capitalist United States and the Communist Soviet Union. Tensions ran high and the apocalypse was narrowly averted on several occasions as the two sides jockeyed for...

I recently came across this althistory page: https://althistory.fandom.com/wiki/Russian_Confederated_Union_(Inverse_Spectrum:_Chaos_&_Resolve) In the post, the creator turned Vladivostok into "the world's most modernized city", and Vladivostok became one of the major tech hubs of the world...

Did Sweden have a chance of keeping Russia from conquering Finland? If so, how could they do it? I assume keeping control of Sveaborg is a must, for obvious reasons. How would a Russian defeat here affect the Napoleonic Wars? My guess is their alliance with France will fall apart earlier...

Greetings, this is Karl the Writer, coming in from the bowels of the internet to writer a little something I have been wanting to do for a long time. I will be exploring the possibilities of a Russian Alaska, and what could potentially occur. I was inspired by AlternatehistoryHubs video on this...

The challenge is that with a POD (or several, which is most likely needed) no earlier than May 6, 1910, and no later than November 9, 1923, the following statements are true as of January 1, 2000: -The British Empire is the most powerful entity on Earth, headed by the descendants of King George...

Is an alliance between Qing China and Tsarist Russia possible after the First Sino-Japanese War? Are there possible PODs starting in 1896 that could bring China into the arms of the Entente?

In 15 of November 1581 Ivan IV (the Terrible/Formidable/Fearsome) ended up causing his daughter in-law to miscarriage (she was the third one, as he sent the 2 first to convents for no reason) and ended up having a fight with his estranged son, beating him in the head and causing him to colapse...

Using any change of events you like get the population of the Russian Pacific Coast City, Vladivostok over 1,000,000 people. The last survey showed it was at about 605,000 people. These changes can be in the Tsarist Era, The Soviet Era, or more recently in the Post-Soviet era. They can be...

I'm no expert at map making, obviously my maps aren't something worth mentioning in term of sophistication. However, I'm rather attached to the first map I made after learning to use Paint.net so I decided to build it in detail. I'm partly inspired by this thread by @TemporalRenegade which...

So, if Tsarist Russia had survived WW1, they were to get Constantinople and the straits. Considering the Tsars claimed to be the 3rd Rome, I'm wondering how likely people think it is that they'd move the capital to Constantinople? Considering the importance of the Black Sea and the rivers...

In 1878, Diptheria swept over the Hessian court at Darmstadt, ultimately killing Grand Duchess Alice and her youngest child Princess Marie. IOTL these deaths permanently affected the second youngest Hessian princess, Alix, whose morose personality would become infamous during the twilight of...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Naroch_Offensive https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brusilov_Offensive To break with one of the classic alternate history cliches lets not assume that Brussilov gets killed ITTL. He just ends up on the wrong side of Russian army politics early in his career...

IOTL, the Oriental Crisis of 1840 sprung up as a result of a standoff between Muhammad Ali's Khedivate of Egypt, which had recently humbled its Ottoman overlords in an armed conflict, and the European Great powers (mainly Britain, Austria, Prussia, and Russia), over the borders of the new...

The Challenge is to create a scenario in which, Anastasia Romanov escape to England, and have Tsarist Whites win the war, and have Anastasia become Empress Anastasia I. How that plays out and the aftermath is up to you.

IOTL, there was a significant movement within parts of Russia's elite to put Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich as Tsar of Russia, by deposing his more reactionary brother, Nicholas, in an armed uprising, now known as the Decembrist Revolt. The revolt, however, mostly foundered, because Konstantin...

As the title says, Imperial Russia survives into modern day whether it remained as a First-World country or Second-world state. It can be constitutional or absolute rule. The survival of Russia under the Tsarist regime will definitely butterfly Communism in absence of Soviet Union. How would...

So let's assume that Tsarist Russia doesn't collapse during WW1 and instead manages to hang on just long enough that the Germans implode first, manages to ride out the social turmoil caused by the war (with Poland and Finland becoming autonomous subjects of the Tsar and considerable political...
