With a POD after 1900. Hum maybe if the Russian Empire had actually managed to not be defeated by the Central Powers. But that would require mass modernization of its army and navy. One thing however that can help is perhaps have the Russians win the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-1905 which for me started to sign the beginning of the end of Tzarist regime of Russia. Maybe Russia gets Korea and Manchuria after having beaten the Japanese.
