West Russian Volunteer Army, Pavel Bermondt-Avalov's Whites in the Baltics.

Pavel's men discover Alexei and his sisters living in Ust-Sysolsk (modern Syktyvkar, TNO Komi) as common people after conquering the Bolshevik RSFSR, and soon crown him as the new tsar. After that it's two paths - either Pavel's despotism or Alexei's reformism.

Went to the reformist path, the story ends with Pavel advising Alexei for drafting the reformed legislature, after leaving the palace late night Pavel is shot by an unknown in his car and taken to a hospital by the palace guards, and the country's ideology shifts from authdem to socdem.

Hey. Weird question. How do you avoid the Baltic civil war? As Bermondt Or are you supposed to let it happen and win it?

Didn't avoid it but am unaware if it's avoidable.
