Well, that'd be very hard to do - the Whites were a touch overstretched at that point.

But, if they had?

I suspect either a White victory, or a split into two parts. If a split, then the nationalist states in the west get independence. Maybe a few get it if the Whites win. The Royals being alive would both unify, and make more stable, the White factions.

If they lost still, expect the Soviets to... well, lets just say that things are going to be really bad, and hard, for them to stay in power.
