WI the Borki train crash never happens. Tsar Alexander III does not die at 49 but dies at say 75 years old, in 1920.
We see anti-reformation policy, just as with Nicholas II, but Alex III is more dominant, convinced and has better relationships with ministers.
The peacekeeper as he is called, does not drag the country in the Russio-Japanese war, has more control over the rightwing forces at court etc.
He will have to deal with revolutionary forces from 1900 and later. Perhaps he will do better, perhaps not who knows?
Furthermore, I believe he will not try to surprise the German army in august 1914 in East Prussia and attack while being unprepared to do so but will wait for the Germans to come invading Russia as planned in the Schlieffen plan. Of course, this may never happen because the Germans have their hands full in the west. He then may even avoid war at all for Russia.
What do you think about that. Does this sound realistic?
