Poland with these borders

How could we make Poland have these borders, the POD is after the Collapse of the Russian Empire.
 
I might need some more context; it's somewhat difficult for me to place which regions are in this Poland. I can see Greater Poland, the Corridor, Congress Poland, I think Upper Silesia, and West Galicia; how much south and east of WG is there, and how much to the east of Congress Poland? And is there anything I've missed?

You missed none, it has all ethnic polish regions in Poland.
 
Shouldn't be hard, I imagine; Since Poland controlled all the territory in the West, the question is how to keep Kresy outside of Poland. I think that a narrower Polish-Soviet war could result in some sort of negotiated peace, where Poland doesn't get Western Belarus or Western Ukraine. The big issue, however, would be holding back Soviet expansionism, and preventing Nazis or other far-right powers from coming to power, both of which would probably result in Poland potentially either losing territory. The first probably shouldn't be that difficult, but I think the second could be fairly difficult given the difficulties in butterflying away the Great Depression and the economic crisis in Germany. I'd need to think a bit.
 
Indeed, shouldn’t be all that hard. Poland intervenes in Russian Civil War on the White side early and decisively and is successful. Too successful. Semi-Republican White Russia is restored and able to exert enough diplomatic pressure to keep much of their pre-war territories. Poland is compensated with some German territories in the West.
 
Looks similiar to 1914 map of one of Polish cartographers - it was a map of proposed after-WW1 autonomic Poland. As in your map (probably; tip: use more geographic features next time - it's a bit hard to tell what territory your map covers) proposed Poland included Danzig, southern East Prussia, all Upper Silesia (including Opole), western Galicia & Bialystok Oblast, with northern East Prussia (including Elbing), eastern Galicia, Suwalki and Chelm Governorates being in Russia proper.

Debatable.

It definitely doesn't include Danzig, that little bite taken out of the corridor in the northeast is the Free City's space on OTL maps. I think other country borders would also be useful; in some cases, they can be more useful than geographical borders in determining which territories are or aren't included.

I doesn't look like it at all. There's western part of Mierzeja Wiślana (Vistula Spit) and Zuławy Wiślane shown in Poland.

We need a better map.
