So the idea of the Russians taking Constantinople sometime between its fall and WWI entered my mind the other day, and a few questions popped into my head.
1. Is this plausible at all? Is there any key point and time where the Russians can plausibly take Constantinople? If so, when would that time period be. I kind of assumed the mid-19th century but I'm not an expert.
2. Would, in the case of Russian Constantinople, would there be a Russian Rumelia, Thrace, or Russian portion of Anatolia surrounding the city? I assume there would have been at least a small Russian area around the straights, but I'm really more interested to see how much the Russians plausibly could take.
