AHC: Switch the fates of the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire

Challenge: Switch the fates of the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire. Have the Ottoman Empire go into civil war, only to become a major power again, while have the Russian Empire partitioned between other European powers (like Great Britain, France, and Germany).
 
For Russia, if it remained a backwards, pseudo-Asiatic power (no access to the Baltic Sea for starters), then not only it can be partitioned, but it will have unequal treaties imposed upon them.

For Ottoman Turkey, it would be best if they have Grand Viziers who are better than their OTL counterparts. Or perhaps the Turks win a conflict against the Austrians that involved a Hapsburg-satellite Kingdom of Serbia springing up.
