First my AHC of the year: invented a POD and a TL where Eltsin, Putin or what else after the fall of URSS promoved an Imperial restauration. Points added if Imperial Russia regained control over countries previously in his control, so also Finland and Poland are allowed. Expansion over other countries is permitted, but please no excessive wank. If you want you can create OC Romanov but is preferible to use real alive Romanov.
Have fun!
