The Tsar would have probably been a better choice looking in hindsight. Most likely would have resulted in an eventual democracy.

I think not getting involved is usually the better choice. In hindsight, perhaps we could have prevented the USSR, but that would've required foresight that we didn't have. These days, we seem to make things way worse when we get involved, so we should just not get involved most of the time (beyond restricting trade, that is).
