hey, all. one of the major countries in my ATL is russia. the post-1900 history, in short, is that the bolsheviks fail in their revolution and the romanovs maintain the russian empire for another decade or two (i currently have the date as 1939, but i want it to be when russia starts to industrialize and i dont know the exact date). as they industrialize, similar problems as in the west as it industrialized arise and result in the romanovs being deposed, but not killed, and russia becomes a constitutional monarchy, the Russian Federation; basically, the soviet union phase is skipped over and it goes straight from empire to federation.

keep in mind that theres no WW2 ITTL, so that shouldnt have any impact on russia prime minister elections, and that much pretty much all of the territory of teh russian empire is maintained by the federation (except for alaska), and that lenin is dead, trotsky fled teh country, and stalin is an outlaw again

lets assume that the russian PM has the same basic specifications as OTL russian presidents: appointed by direct popular vote, and a six year term with a one-time renewable four year term

two goals to this thread:

  1. figure out exactly what time russia should become a constitutional monarchy and therefore when the first prime minister would be appointed
  2. figure out which historical russians (or people from lands that are part of the country ITTL, like kazakhstan) are the most likely to become prime ministers by popular vote.
any help here?
