I had this idea:
Kornilov takes Petrograd with his troops but eventually, that unites Provisional Government and Bolsheviks, he is expelled from the city after a tough fight and the Germans decide to move deeper into Russia, however, Russian army adopts another doctrine in an attempt to wear off the Germans as they did with Napoleonic army.
They manage to retreat and counterattack successfully, making the Germans bleed and keeping at least some prestige, but it doesn't matter as the chaos in capital causes some soldiers to leave back to their homes.
Lenin is killed during the retreat of Kornilov's men and the struggle between Kamenev and Zinoviev starts.
Someone in the Russian army notices the chaos that is spreading and decides to help the government, Bolsheviks are going through a total chaos and the officers start to "reflex" about the future of Russia.
Perhaps this events cause an earlier civil war, but, are they plausible or completely ASB?
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks in advance!
One more thing, I would prefer a "White-led" Russia in this scenario or at least a democratic regime.
