WI/AHC: Modern Russian Empire

Russia had been a constitutional monarchy since 1905. And there's no way Alexei will survive long, his hemophilia was very severe

Constitutional? In paper yes but not anywhere near what it is usually understand being. Constitution hadn't any check on tsar's power and NII loved dissolve duma frequently making that unable make any reforms. The tsar fired every ministers who tried something reform.
 
As for how the world would be different, in a word: everything. No communism, No fascism, no holocaust, no World War 2, no Cold War etc. .

Isn't this over-exaggerate importance of Russia ? other countries could fall into Communism. other countries could go Fascism because socialist/communist threat. Holocaust could still happen if Russian monarchy lost Poland. WW2 or Cold war equivalent could happen to other countries without Russia participation.

Other countries could but it's highly unlikely. The Provisional government would've survived if the war had ended in Summer 1917 and hardly anyone would know who Lenin is.

In other nations hadn't such influential communist leader as Lenin was. Without Lenin's influence and success it would be pretty difficult promote revolution. And other communist movements wer too quiet weak and barely much chances to revolt. Even in OTL between world wars only Russian communist revolution was succesful. In Germany, Hungary and Finland communist revolutions were total failures. It was hellish terrible living condition and extremely unpopular government which made Russian one success.
 
I think it is possible that the absolutists would've been able to survive had they liberalised the economy and reformed the state to be even more powerful and competent than it was. That and deal with the military so it is effective. Just give it breathing room and it'd be a monster by the 30s.

Absolutism wouldn't work very long in any case without loyal army. Better and easier way is that absolute regime would reform itself as truly constitutional monarchy.
 
@Lalli and @kernals12.

but Lenin is influential because he is First One to establish Communist states, also example from Russia cause other anticommunist leaders in other countries to be more wary and prepared.

if Russia still ruled by Tzar, first major countries who fall to Communism (maybe using other name) would set tone for Communist movement internationally. Other communist would defer to his, other anticommunist would oppose him.
