Lavr Kornilov was a Russian general during WWI. After the February Revolution, he wanted to establish a temporary military dictatorship in Russia because of it's political unstableness under Kerensky's rule and a fear of Bolshevik's rise to power which he was right. His attempt at overthrowing the government never worked because it was stopped by Bolsheviks that Kerensky himself released from prison. What if Kornilov's coup did succeed and he establishes a temporary wartime Authoritarian state as he promised? How would it go for Russia and it's wartime? Would he end up being a typical tyrant dictator or he'd allow democratic elections if the war was over? What impact would it be for Russia for rest of 20th century? Kornilov was also liked by Russian minorities because he was a half Kazakh and that made him trusted.
