Hmm

Well, Manchu nation seems a Cliche.

Nevertheless, there are ways to do it.

Issues to overcome


 * Today Manchus barley comprise 10% of Manchuria's population


 * Manchu language nearly extinct

By late qing, han chinese already mass settle the area.

A good POD could be russia keeps Manchuria and wins Russian Japanese War. However Soviets still rise.

This alternate Manchuria would be the good mix in you described.

Manchuria would likely be the last White Russian stronghold, but still fall. Perhaps you could create an interesting Urgern von Sternburg lore in this - he tried restoring Genghis Empire. (it could have never worked, but he might just last a little longer in this one with Manchuria. Manchuria would be SSR, with Russian as official, while Manchu and Chinese are Lingua Franca.

Just my thoughts.
