It should probably go somewhere else that's not in the Off-Topic thread, don't worry I sometimes post things in the wrong spot as well. I would probably consider Before 1900 to be where this should go.

Actually the best late-imperial POD does belong here... namely Nicky 2 being born with rather more sense and/or marrying someone more together than he.

If the Russian heir didn't have the blood disease and the family fled to England then came back later.
