Latest POD for Russian revolution not to happen

What would be the latest possible POD for Nicholas II to prevent Revolution at all or make it a smaller one leading to constitutional monarchy by example?
 
Depends on whether one means the February Revolution of the Boshevik coup - AKA the great October Revolution.

I do not think that there were many conspiritors in the first revolution. Getting rid of Lenin any time before September 1917 stops or at least greatly postpones and Bolshevik take over.

Stopping the February revolution requires a different Czar or a major personality transplant on Nicky
 
conspiritors found out and executed... minutes before the event (ASB, I know)

You could kill off a couple key people in the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918.

Read up on the February revolution: there were no conspirators. It was a spontaneous uprising. In fact Lenin was quite suprised by it, he had no idea what was happening.

And if you mean the October revolution, well, by then monarchy had already fallen.
 
In other words, the question is "Was the February Revolution unavoidable"?

Realistically, with Russia's entry into the First World War there are two ways to avoid revolution; either check Central Power advances or keep the supply lines open through the Dardanelles with Turkish neutrality or a successful Allied Gallipoli campaign.

It was poor military leadership and a lack of food that caused the Petrograd workers to riot. Russia could remain on the defensive militarily, buying time for space if the Black Sea supply line remains open to Allied shipping. German/Austrian forces would encounter stiffer resistance causing more casualties and pinning down more troops. The Western Front might be eased resulting in greater Allied success.

So I would say 1915 was the crucial year for Russia. 1916 at a push - if the Battle of the Somme wasn't such an unmitigated disaster for the Allies and causes more troops to be transferred to the West.
