This is my idea for Russia:
1918: Russia collapses into civil war with multiple factions. The Germans back the Red army, led by the exiled Communist, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (later Lenin).
1919-1920:
The heavy price that the Bolshevik forces must pay to Germany is the brutal Treaty of Vilnius, which causes a springtime of nations, most of which are German puppets.
1920:
Most of the resistance to the Reds have either fled to the Siberian Hetmanate, or surrendered.
1921-1927: the Lenin years. Although Lenin has attempted to make an ideal Communist state, he was unable to circumvent several major problems. A massive famine crippled his economy, his old ally, Lev Bronstein, was killed in a massive anti-semitic riot, and there are still pockets of resistance across Russia, mostly led by Alexander Kolchak.
Late 1927:
Lenin dies, and the Communist party starts to fight against itself. In the chaos, Ioseb Jughashvili manages to organize an army, and take over Georgia, initially hoping to have the country join the USSR.
1928-1929
Admiral Kolchak and his followers manage to defeat the divided Communist forces. He helps establish a new Republican government, with himself as the first president, after a free and fair election.
Kolchak's personal standard. A version defaced with the coat of arms of Russia is the Presidential standard of the Russian Republic.
1932: the Russian Republic in invades Bukhara.
1933-1936
Russia slowly recovers from its famine, but the nationalists are not happy. After a minor radical right wing party leads a few riots and failed coups, a young man named Konstantin Rodzhaevsky becomes the charismatic leader of the Party to Restore Russia. In the years from 1934 onwards, the PRR gradually gained popularity, even forming a coalition with Kolchak's United Democratic party. (Kolchak thought that was the best way to keep an eye on Rodzhaevsky)
1937
After a long health struggle, the Hero of the Republic, Admiral Alexander Kolchak, dies.
Almost immediately, Rebellions begin all over the country. Communists and separatists are gaining ground. In response, Konstantin Rodzhaevsky is appointed emergency powers, and is sworn in as the president of the Russian Republic.
1938-1939
Rodzhaevsky's armies give no quarter, crushing the central Asian revolts, and executing the Communists. At the same time, the "night of the bloody swords" occurs, in which most of Rodzhaevsky's political rivals are murdered. A few months later, Rodzhaevsky bans all other political parties, leaving a rump Duma that will basically do anything that he says. All of this is accompanied by a massive buildup of the Armed forces.
1940-1943
Rodzhaevsky is appointed "Vozhd of all Russias", and the last trappings of democracy are dissolved. The Far Eastern Republic is annexed (Kolchak had negotiated the return of most of Siberia in the years before). Germany grows wary of the revanchist Russia. The *axis is formed, by Russia, Rhomania, and Hellas. Several states are annexed into Russia by corrupted plebiscite. Eventually, a Baltoslavian naval vessel will fire on a Russian ship in their territorial waters, triggering World War Two
