I mentioned this before, but the Tsar was actually in favor of a republican government at the time, feeling that it would be much less aggressive than Napoleon was, so there's that to think about.
Then again, assuming that, against all odds, Malet manages to successfully fool the government, how would he interact with the Great Powers? Is he gonna support France shrinking to just its Natural Frontiers? Would he support the campaign against Napoleon or just sit it out?
