I read somewhere that around 1905 Germany was back to courting Russia again for an alliance, and the Russian defeat forced her back into the arms of French investors and led to Britain deeming Russia as not much of a threat anymore.

What does a Russian victory in 1905 entail diplomatically speaking? Is Germany going to be successful into courting Russia back into an alliance? Does the 1907 Anglo-Russian Entente still come into being or does Britain look to Germany again?
 
I think the biggest diplomatic shakeup would come from the fact that a Russia coming out of a war victory and heading off the worst edges of 05' is that it aggitates the frictions between them and Austria Hungary; St Petersburg will have no need to blink on supporting their Serbian client of the issue of Bosnia, so no compromise that allowed for the annexation of the province.

Ultimately though weather Germany realigns Russia depends entirely on if they're willing to toss the Triple Alliance under the bus

They won't.

Also, a WWI which breaks out in 1908 might result in a German victory since Russia would have had less time to industrialize and modernize its military.
