AH challenge- Wild West in 18th-19th C Centrall Asia/Siberia/Sinkiang

OK, how could the hallmarks of the Wild West of the US frontier have thruout the 18th-19th C directly become transpoed to the above-mentioned Eurasian steppe regions, so that all the major hallmarks of the American frontier (ie Indian wars, cattle-herding, mining, large-scale immigration) are seen in full ? With what effect ?

Eighteenth-Nineteenth century Siberia had large-scale immigration from Russia and the establishment of substantial mining. I don't think there were "Indian Wars" in the Western sense, but it shouldn't be hard to do with the Buryats or someone. Cattle-herding is beyond me, though.

So, assuming some PoD to give us a more organsised anti-Russian resistance by Buryats, Evenks and whatnot, the effect will be: less Buryats. There's no way for them to win, no potential source of foreign support. Any attempt to resist Russia violently would be self-destructive.
