AHC: Largest possible Russia

Give Russia a decisive win over Japan in 1904, a decisive win over Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1914 (with early Romanian and Italian intervention when the CP struggle in the opening two months ITTL proving decisive, even without Britain needed to join on the entente), and a new war against the Ottoman Empire in 1916 (say, Armenian Genocide and a foolish Ottoman War with Greece create justification) resulting in the Ottoman's being divided between Russia, Greece, Italy, France and Britain.

Have Britain, Japan, and Mexico fight a bizzare and exhausting war against the US from around 1912-1914, setting all three major countries (US, UK, Japan) back a decade.

Japan, Britain, Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and China are all in no position to check Russian power for a while. Russia has a free reign in the Balkans, Persia, Central Asia, and China.
 
Actually, it kinda works. If Sheng Shicai doesn't betray Stalin, the Soviets seize Inner Mongolia along with Manchuria, all they would need is a way to get the Kuriles and Hokkaido as well.
Lemme think: The Nationalists push back as the Communists suffer a string of defeats, someone more loyal to Stalin replaces Mao, and the Chinese, Manchurian and Uyghr socialist Federative Republics join the Soviet Union. A bit unrealistic, but workable I guess.
