What might have happened if rather than falling in the October Revolution to the Soviets, the Provisional Government is able to survive and stabilize the country?
Let's suppose that due to, say, an earlier entry of the U.S into WWI or better luck for the Entente or worse luck for the Central powers, that the war ends after the February Revolution but well before the October Revolution, maybe in May or June. Given that the Provisional Government was democratic and continued fighting the war there likely wouldn't be the same call to dismember Russia's far western territories as OTL.
Let us also suppose that due to the war being over there isn't as much force behind the October Revolution and the victorious Russian Republican government is able to crush the revolt. What might change as a result of this?
