Lets say that the Russian civil war had gone worse at the point that Russia virtually collapse or stay trap in a endless civil war like China.

The senario would be open as there would be a red faction, a white faction, the small but existing black faction and a strong ATL democratic faction equivalent in strenght with the red, lets say a blue army. Lets say that the white and ATL blue armies were stronger than in OTL, and offer a better resistence, Russia could be stuck in a more bloody and longer civil war, without counting the separatist movements who would be stronger.

Russia could completely collapse with a small Russia or many small Russia in Europe with a communist states, a republic and add what you want, all of them plotting against each other. the rest of Russia of former Russia would be rule by former general who declare themselve warlord of the region. The Caucasus could escape the Russian fold, removing their oil reserve, same thing for central Asia.

Of course, some nations like Japan would occupy some former territory of the Russian empire.
