If Russia's expansion is either limited to west of the Urals or if Russia doesn't exist at all, is it plausible for some kind of nationhood to take root in Siberia among the nomadic hunters and occasional European colonists who call the region home?
Sounds very interesting. Any chance we can read that document?I wrote an analysis on German Colonization of Eastern Europe and Siberia. I have been collecting a lot of research lately as well. The best event would be the Thirty Year's War with the potential of around 6 million migrating Germans. I have got a lot of research and an 8,000-word document.
It's coming along nicely. Huge project but mind-blowing because of its size.

A greater Chinese presence in Outer Manchuria (and assumedly Buryatia/Baikal area) and Japanese presence in Kamchatka/Okhotsk area could easily spiral into a unification of the Yakuts under their own khan who'd be useful as a buffer state in the Lena basin.Ob basin: Sibir Khanate - a cultural continuation of Kazakhstan
Buryatia plus Altai and Baikal region- a continuation of Mongolia.
Outer Manchuria - extension of China.
Kamchatka plus Sakhalin plus Magadan province: annexed by Japan
Yakutia and Evenkia and Taymir: ???????
Would they have come without the backing of a *Russian state to support colonization efforts?I wrote an analysis on German Colonization of Eastern Europe and Siberia.
