Let's say that Lenin and Trotsky die as a result of two separate accidents in 1916. In turn, this completely eliminates the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and thus ensures that Russia will remain in WWI until the very end (without the Bolsheviks, the Russian government would probably be unwilling to sign Brest-Litovsk--instead preferring to fight until the very end and to hope that Russia's Western allies will defeat Germany).

Afterwards, Russia gets all of the territories that it was promised by its allies in previous negotiations. However, both Poland and Finland probably still become independent.

Anyway, what would a non-Bolshevik Russia look like? For instance, would it implement land reform and still begin industrializing at a very rapid pace?

Also, would it eventually become a dictatorship like most Central and Eastern European countries did in the 1920s and 1930s in our TL? :

In addition to this, what would its foreign policy have looked like? Specifically, would it want to expand into any additional territory?

Finally, how exactly would it have dealt with the various autonomist and separatist movements (other than Poland and Finland, of course) which would have developed on its territory?

Any thoughts on all of this?
