Turkestan?

I always see Turkestan in historical or alternate history Maps but how exactly could such a state come to exist?
A different Russian Civil War could do the trick, at least in a limited form. For instance, in a CP-victorious TL, the Ottomans would probably be interested in helping their fellow Turks over there in achieving independence, and they would be in a better position to do so, compared to OTL.
