All is Now Against Us: A Russian White Victory

Yes. But I cannot make him a "Nat pop." No, no, no. I feel the devs were really stretching it. I love kaisereich, but Savinkov should be a left SR.
According to Orlando Figes in A People's Tragedy:"Most of Kornilov's political pronouncements were written for him by Boris Savinkov, Kerensky's Deputy Minister of War. During his youth Savinkov had been a legendary figure - poet, 'freedom fighter' and gambler - in the SR terrorist movement. [...] Like many terrorists, however, he had a strong authoritarian streak: 'You are a Lenin, but of the other side.' Kerensky once told him. After a period of exile abroad, Savinkov returned to Russia in 1917 and attached himself to the movement against the Soviet (which he called the 'Council of Rats', Dogs' and Chickens' Deputies'). It was he who engineered Kornilov's appointment, first, on 8 July". That's hardly the politics of a left-SR. Try Natanson, Spiridonova, or even Chernov.

You have given me something to think about. I will keep savinkov for now but when I get up to it I’ll remove his references of a “democratic Russia.”

Roman von Ungern-Sternberg was fighting bravely under the white army for some time. However, he began to have frustrations after the first election. Every candidate was too moderate for him, and he was beginning to feel out of touch with Russian culture, despite his reverence for the Tsar. Soon his asiatic cavalry division entered Mongolia. Bogd Khan welcomed his assistance in riding Mongolia from the Chinese yoke. Roman felt disgusting by the Republican surge everywhere, and took interest in restoring the Qing to China. A detachment led by B.P. Rezukhin seized Chinese front line fortifications. Bogd was rescued from house arrest.Using a tactic borrowed from Genghis Khan, he ordered the troops to light a large number of campfires on the hills surrounding Urga, to use them as effective reference points for Rezukhin's troops. This led the Chinese to believe an overwhelming force surrounded the town. Several feigned retreats destroyed Chinese armies, and soon China was gone for good. Chinese and Russian Jewish stores were destroyed.
The New Regime
Although Ungern didn't care for internal affairs, he helped the Khan quite a bit. His troops shot people who littered on the streets, and oppressed Russian and Chinese colonists. His Asiatic cavalry served as the precursor to the future Mongol armed forces. He started creating low level industries, mostly military, to deal with aggressive Chinese warlord states. Very soon on his agenda was to get the Turkestan, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Manchuria,Tuva, and Uyghuristan before Chinese or Russians could. True, the Russians and Chinese had once been glorious Monarchies, but they had betrayed such a legacy. Ungern truly saw the Turko-Mongol people as a royal vanguard against republicanism, and he would make their enemies pay with blood...For the enlightened Bodhisattvas will bless him with victories...

Guys, I am really liking the enthusiasm. I plan on doing more international themed posts, especially due to the fact Russian civil war was only the beginning, and now it is time to get into global ramifications.
 
Hoping that Russia takes back some clay in this TL :p
It will definitely reclaim something, although keep in mind, given my style, them reclaiming clay might be for the better. I like to throw things into chaos, and the stability Russia has achieved makes it a good stabilizing force.
 
Savinkov - The Unseating
A letter was written to several nationalistic figures, by Savinkov. Little did he know, it would cause perhaps the greatest scandal in Russian history.
Dear Rodzaevsky
I would like your endorsement for me to become Vozhd of Russia. Though on paper to the left, I find it attrocious, the Russian land under imperialist whorist yoke. Once I get the whole right to support me, the non coward factions of the left shall. The holy church will endorse me from then. I will certainly be the soverign your party talks about, the autocrat akin to the Tsars of old. My land reform has won the peasants support. Really, only treasonous so called "intellectuals" in the cities, particularly the bolshevik treasonous elements of my party, will resist. Do you intend to support me?
The Consequences
Rodzaevsky hated the idea of Savinkov becoming a Tsar, so he immediately snitched. Soon the Russian public was outraged. Savinkov, in his defense, claimed given the circumstances, he still believed absolutist rule would be best. He believed Russia thrived on Tsarist imperialism. Yet the verdict was decided. The disgraced Savinkov was impeached. Thus the older Kornilov stepped in, a reconciling figure of sorts.

Note: I wanted a Russian version of sorts of the business plot, but with different cultural elements.
 
Hmm. I am tempted to make National Bolshevism a thing, primarily as an attempt for Bolsheviks to re integrate, but I already have a National Bolshevik Russia TL planned.
 
Guys, got any predictions? Mad Baron, the United States, Weimar Germany? Who still step and take the reigns in Russia? What about Eastern Europe like Romania? Also, what will Japan do? Will it take advantage of the help of a little mad baron to get what it wants in china?
 
I think Weimer will survive!
Good Prediction! Hitler is gone, no trumped up fear of communism. The question may be, what reforms will the leaders do, and which directions will its politics take? While the Nazis lost their key leaders, certainly reactionary right exists, however they are less radical and will want to work with the system.
 
I think Denkin will serve as a first among equals
Denikin surely has his ambitions. 80% of Russia loves him, mostly the Peasants, as he is a "started from the bottom" kinda guy in the words of Drake. He is anti semitic, costing him urban and liberal support.

Maybe we could have a neo-Kaiserreich?
