The Moscow Event

What if the June 30 1908 explosion that flattened Tunguska had occurred further west say over Moscow or St. Petersburg. If the government had been taken out, would other countries try to take advantage of the situation? What would the political situation be in Russia in the aftermath?
 
That's about the 296th time this WI is posted. Sorry...
This is slowly but surely becoming more cliched than CSA/Nazi victory TLs. Or maybe it just seems that way because of how lame it is. Okay, it's probably just me, but TL's revolving around some kind of cataclysm like "meteor destroys major/capital city" or "Yellowstone blows up America" are just kinda boring in their own dystopic ways.
