What can be to make the 20th century "Better" for Russia??? That country lost a lot of people through emigration, death by the Nazis, and Stalin's cruelty. It didn't help that the USSR collapsed in the worst way possible without a violent war, and Russia was run by a corrupt drunk in the 90's.
Any POD is allowed as long as it falls in the 20th century, but the obvious ones are probably the best.
Bonus points if China is improved too(given the history involving the Japanese ruling brutally followed by Mao being awful too).
