Plausibility Check: A Russian Posen Province and a Prussian Lithuania and Courland

OK; thus, could we see an eventual Prusso-Russian alliance in order to preserve autocracy in Eastern Europe in this TL?

I'm with Jack here, Prussia was conservative but not autocratic, but more importantly Prussia by the late 20th had very little cultural influence over the German Empire, with the Junkers never having the political power that most think they had. In this Germany with the Junkers probably having even less power I can't see with Germany would defend autocracy when they never did it OTL.

Question--didn't the German Kaiser have about as much power as the U.S. President had (and still has)?
 
So, is it unfair to call, say, Bashar al-Assad a dictator simply because he has a parliament?
Bruh it's not complicated if you can over rule everyone else and no one can over rule you you are an autocrat anything less than that is not Autocracy

My point here is that the line between these two-things isn't always so clear-cut, though.

Yes it is, simply due to the nature of Autocracy, it's absolute power.
Either you have it or you don't.
If anything you would want to make the argument that I'm applying the definition too literally, which is honestly correct, I just like to argue technicalities.
I do stand by the statement that Prussia is not be Autocratic through

So, are monarchs with semi-absolute power not autocrats?
