Replacing “diseases” with “a multifront war”

Changing “lack of alliances” to “diplomatic failures”

Changing “lack of infrastructure” to “backward military”

Answer 1

Changing “lack of alliances” to “diplomatic failures”

Reason: “Diplomatic failures” is more precise and explanatory—it captures missteps and isolation that led to Russia facing a coalition, whereas “lack of alliances” is narrower and less informative.
