What if Lavr Kornilov had established a military dictatorship to replace Kerensky's Provisional Government? How would this effect Russia's role in the Great War? What effects would there be outside of Russia?

Could it be capable of crushing the Bolsheviks?Probably too short-lived to have any effect.

Weren't his troops quite anti-Bolshevik?He could occupy Petrograd, but would be unlikely to hold it long before his troops succumbed to Revolutionary propaganda.

Damn, you stole my idea !I'm trying to write this exact tl
If he shoots Lenin/the Bolshevik leadership when he takes over the October revolution doesn't happen. If the "reds" start off the revolution with much less control over the core areas of Russia like Moscow and Petrograd than they did otl they might just flat out lose the civil war even if it happens.
Something like it? Maybe but the October revolution was pushed by Lenin when the rest of the Bolshevik leadership (as well as the leaders of other socialist parties) thought the time wasn't ripe yet. It's quite possible an uprising fails or is pushed off without Lenin.Damn, you stole my idea !
Wouldn't the October Revolution (or something like it) occur anyway if Lenin was shot?
Would it be headed by Trotsky or Stalin?Something like it?

How much better would he be than Lenin or Stalin?Trotsky, probably; he was ahead in leadership over Stalin at this time, IIRC...
BTW, waiting for more on your Ethiopia TL...
How successful would this be? I don't think it would prevent the Russian Civil War.It would unite the Bolsheviks and SR’s together, Kerensky and Lenin would fight side by side instead of against each other, so the end result would be a very left wing democracy
The civil war would be kornilov vs the Bolsheviks and KerenskyHow successful would this be? I don't think it would prevent the Russian Civil War.
Who'd win in this Russian Civil War?The civil war would be kornilov vs the Bolsheviks and Kerensky
Probably Kerensky and the Bolsheviks. It would be like the regular Russian civil war except the Bolsheviks have SR support tooWho'd win in this Russian Civil War?
So then who'd side with Kornilov over Kerensky's government and the Bolsheviks?Probably Kerensky and the Bolsheviks. It would be like the regular Russian civil war except the Bolsheviks have SR support too
