See above. Basically, put Austria-Hungary with the Etente and Russia with the Central Powers, who are I dunno, the Eurasian Powers here. Russia is not facing the might of both Austria-Hungary and Germany here along with the Ottomans, but instead only Austria-Hungary and maybe the Ottomans if they swap sides to the Etente as well. The British and French are of course also enemies, but they're more of a German concern unless the British send an expeditionary force to the Balkans or to the Caucasus. Maybe the Japanese join in with attacks on the Far East.

Would this Russia have sustained anywhere near the damage it did OTL to bow out of the war, and would that damage in turn be enough to precipitate a fall of the monarchy and a civil war across the country as a whole? Or would this difference of alliance mean that Russia would not have been ground down as badly and instead manage to come out of the war, regardless of defeat or victory against the Etente?
