In this challenge, you are to make Imperial Russia rise to superpower status with a POD after 1905. The Soviet Union msut never come into being, and Russia must also experience a Cold War with the USA similar to the one in OTL.
Hmmm, traditionally, the Russians had really good relations with the US.In this challenge, you are to make Imperial Russia rise to superpower status with a POD after 1905. The Soviet Union msut never come into being, and Russia must also experience a Cold War with the USA similar to the one in OTL.

Perhaps it's the Russians trying to expand their influence across the world, and the US is afraid of them and tries to block them or something like that.
The Cold War was basically a competition over who would inherit the European empire after World War II. Perhaps Imperial Russia makes a grab for it, and the USA tries to stop it.

Well, they have, but maybe huge Russian pogroms against Jewish population in belorussian and ukrainian areas could trigger decline in their relations and eventually they will end in some kind of cold war.Hmmm, traditionally, the Russians had really good relations with the US.

If WW1 began 5 years later in 1919, could Russia successfully capture and annex Constantinople? In OTL WW1 in 1915 the British and French promised to give it to Tsarist Russia when they won.
How much land could Imperial Russia gobble up if it won a slightly later WW1?
ISTM, that, leaving aside the economic problems a surviving Tsarist Russia would have, the Cold War was a peculiarly ideological battle which you won't see replicated with Tsarist Russia. So a great game, maybe; but a vision of Russian conquest of America? Nah.
