Emperess Anastasia of Russia

Russian succession law means she would only inherit the crown if literally all other make claimants had died.

Her brother dead, her uncle, Michael, is dead. Most of her other uncles went int exile. Her sister, Olga gave up being head of the Romanov’s, her other sisters married into England and Serbia
 
Many little things are in flux

For example, if the Allies take out the Communists in 1920, does this butterfly Baron Ungarn away?

If so, does this mean that Mongolia remains under Chinese direct rule (recently imposed, which he helped to overthrow)?

Might this in some way work out - that Japan gets more of what it wants in Shantung and Manchuria (as Russia backs their plan in thanks for their aid) but China gets to re-annex Mongolia?

I could see Dmitri

deciding to throw his weight behind Anastasia

I am still convinced you need a state council of the surviving grand dukes to formalise things, but he has both British and Persian connections, and is an influential figure

Well the new Russian Empire under Anastasia would be a constitutional monarchy, while the Empress would have a bit of power, nothing like before under her father.

Urgarn was a hard Absolute Monarchist who believe the Tsar was divine

Maybe he goes to Mongolia to fight to start an army to overthrow the Duma and restore that hard line absolutism
 
In an alternate scenario in 1917, the Children of Nicholas II escapes Russia to England. After the execution of the Emperor and his wife, Alexei dies in a accident because of his hemophilia. After morning the losses, Olga renounces the claim, Maria marries into the House of Windsor and Tatiana marries into the Karadjordjevic dynasty. This leaves the last child, Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia to become head of the House of Romanov.

In 1920, during the Polish-Soviet war, countries such as Britain, Japan, and the USA declares war on Russia to end communist expansion. Although protested by the League of Nations, they decided to turn a blind eye. In the end, the coalition was successful, Lenin is arrested and dies of a stroke, Trotsky flees to Mexico ,Stalin disappears, and the Russian Empire is restored with a functional parliament, however the Monarch has great influence in the country. Anastasia is crowned Tsarina.

Given this scenario, what would you think Anastasia would do after all this? Would she Industrialized Russia? How would she react to the rise of Hitler and WWII? How would her reign change history?

I don't quite get how the children of Nicholas and Alexandria surviving is going to lead the US, UK, Japan, etc. to go to war to overthrow the Bolsheviks in 1920. Lloyd George certainly did not show much enthusiasm for helping the Poles (let alone conquering Bolshevik Russia!) in 1920, the US was just completing demobilization and was in no mood for a new war, etc. And as for Hitler, for why I cannot see his career be anything like it was if there had not been a Bolshevik Russia, see https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...e-operation„barbarossa“.433527/#post-16279796

I have to agree with this, however people. Did get involved in the Civil War, biggest issue is getting everyone on the same team. So 1. You need someone by end of war that hasn't been executed..
2. That person would have to be visible and popular.

Problema become that by 1920 I don't know if anyone wanted the romonovs back on either side.

Allied powers who intervened didn't hang out very long to support anyone since it was such a multifaceted civil war.

Karansky was one thing.. Lenin was another.
