Hello, Russia has always been a place that has intrigued me but I still have a lot to learn about its history. One thing that has pecked my interest in this lately was a comment I heard on a documentary about world revolutions made by a historian who said that if Czar Nicholas II had never let Russia into the fighting during WW1 then the communist revolution may never have had occurred there. In fact they said that Lenin had even left the country before then because his hopes where so dim for the revolution to start there.

So in this thread I'd like to discuss some of the PODs that could keep Russia out of WW1 and what long term effects that would have on local and world events.

Here is the documentary
