Let's say that some slavic pagan version of Plato rises in the mid 700s, and he creates a form of pagan renaissance in eastern europe and while this fails to prevent Poland, the balkans and the baltics from adopting christianity, a eastern slavic state covering Belarus, parts of Russia, ukraine (without crimea at first), is formed, how succesfull can this state be? Could this russia still conquers siberia in the XVI century as OTL? And how this reformed slavic paganism could look like? Would this Russia be to slavism what Zoroastrianism was to Persia, a "national" religion that would be always related to slavs?
I planned to post here a map showing the extension of slavic paganism in the 700s AD, but I couldn't find any, if you have one please comment it for me to post here
