AHC: Tsar over Hitler

Your challenge, should you accept it, is to create a situation in which an Imperial Russia could take on and defeat a fascist Germany.

The three elements of the challege are:

1) Tsar's crown either kept or restored in Russia
2) German descent into Fascism despite (1).
3) Russia defeats Germany militarily.
 
Best way probably would be reform Russia on end of 19th or early 20th century. So you need more reformist tsar. Then Russia could have more advanced military during WW1 and it would beat Germany with France.
 
The Soviet system collapses in the late 20s early 30s by having Stalin murder more farmers or no international food aid.In the resulting chaos a democratic Russia emerges with a Tzarist as a figurehead.

Was there anymore much support for restoration even on 1920's? Probably there should be Second Russian Civil War.
 
reforms after 1905, better relations with the west gives the Russian military better training and hopefully tells nicky that he is not a military genius. come time for the war, have the czar put more faith in the general staff, Russia lost because it shot itself in the foot with a howitzer and then decided to implode.

in a more sane reality Russia would or should have done better in the west

Stalin declares himself Tsar, keep everything else as OTL

That wouldn't happen. Although Stalin was ideologically flexible he was a Communist and strongly opposed to Tsardom. There's also no political benefit to doing that, and at least in the pre-purge years a lot of risk.
