AHC/WI: Russian Empire Survives East of the Urals

What it says on the tin, with a POD no earlier than 1900, allow the Russian Empire to survive east of the Urals while a Soviet state exists west of the Urals. Bonus points if you can get this Russian Empire to maintain all of Russia east of the Urals, international support is allowed to get it going.

During the intervention to defeat the Bolsheviks, Allied troops landed at Vladivostok and headed west. The Japanese contributed 70000 troops, but refused to go west of Lake Baikal. The British, US, Canadian, etc troops pushed on well into Russia, and I've heard that some forces made it as far as the temporary White Russian capital at Omsk. That's a long way. omsk.png

There wasn't enought industry or population there to that, the soviets would just overrun all siberia after the whites have been defeated in europe, not even the japanese could stop them
 
Hmm. Not likely, but should this happen by some divine intervention, how would the indigenous peoples react to the sudden and near downfall of the Russian government? More egalitarianism among the ethnic groups or outright enslavement? Apartheid government or benevolent ingoration?

This doesn't exactly meet the challenge, since instead of a rump Russian empire it involves a breakaway White-ruled Eastern Siberia, but I still think it deserves mentioning.

You might find this an interesting read, old boy :)
