What is needed to turn Russia into a Constitutional Monarchy? PoD is the Death of Alexander I (1825)
Avoid the assassination of Alexander II.
I feel like if anything it will be more like a Prussian style monarchy but with a more empowered monarchy since Russia has had the role of a powerful Tsar for so long. Also his powers are also too entrenched in Russian society.How are you defining "constitutional" here? As in "like the UK", or as in "Prussian-style limited monarchy".

This. "If he wasn't a highborn prince, he'd make a damn fine lawyer" (from feedback of one of Tsarevich's tutors).And even better if Alexander II's oldest son Nikolai Alexandrovich survives or not get his illness and succeeds his father.
Well, I’m not sure who in the imperial family would have anauthority to reduce Tsar’s escorts,especially taking into an account that Loris Melikov was in charge of these issues, but the legend surely resulted in at least one research book (in which the Grand Dukes are plotting against AIII as well). Anyway, the whole security system was ill-organized.This. "If he wasn't a highborn prince, he'd make a damn fine lawyer" (from feedback of one of Tsarevich's tutors).
In fact, if the assassination of his father does not turn him conservative like his younger brother, he is the best candidate for transition to Prussian-style monarchy. Much better than his (overrated by many AH authors) dad (in fact, there is a legend circulating that the Royal family, if not outright backing the assassinations, instructed to reduce the guard of the Tsar to the bare necessary minimum - because the second family with Ms Dolgorukova was embarassing for everyone, and someone decided that "the old cur needs to be done in").
