The thread is created to exchange knowledge on the process on industrialization of Russia in the 19th century. Pointed out by @alexmilman it could have been way better. The question on this matter is, how Russia can start better on industralization to rival at least Austria-Hungary, Italy or even France.
Normally, I wanted to know how Eastern Europe in general can develop better in terms of industrialization and what kind of social effects it will have on the socities of Eastern Europe. Considering I know more about the Ottomans than Russia, I avoid the former and keep the thread focussed on Russian Industrialization and how much Russian society would have in common with Western Europe? (Same kind of secularization possible? Which Western European State would it have the same resemblence; Germany, Italy? Would it be a Super Power like the USSR was 40-50 years earlier than 1949?)
The PoD you can work with is 1856, after the Crimean War.
