I doubt it. Some authoritarian would have emerged. The Mensheviks, liberals, social democrats etc. were weak pansies in a country without well-industrialized urban areas and a massive rural peasantry.

I don't think it would have been much different. The Russian domination and rule over satellite areas/states predated the formation of the USSR and was borne out of fear of Germany and western powers. It would have continued. The liberals were always going to lose.

"and there wouldn't have been much of a fight"

I don't think that's the case. All of the russian political factions distrusted and hated the german government. Whichever group took control (and I think it would have always been a leftist authoritarian government) there would be a fight to the death against a German invasion.
