I'm just wondering if this scenario is at all plausible; If the Russian Empire really kicked butt in WWI and conquered Constantinople would it make sense for them to restore the Byzantine Empire as a puppet state? Is it at all plausible? As for why they did so well let's say that a more competent Tsar reforms the military and industrializes Russia earlier.
If not is their another way it could happen after 1900?
