[color="#40E0D0"]General von Alvensleben[/color]
Alvensleben convention : named after the Prussian general who signed it, A mastermove of Bismarck, adding the useful to the pleasant, or the necessary to the useful, that is :
- crushing the Poles (Prussia had her lot, not much happier than "Russian" ones, and reluctant to be assimilated) and direct interest NOT to let them gain more freedom outside
- AND gaining Russia friendly neutrality - as absolutely necessary (Olmütz proved it) to unite Germany and upset European balance - later to watch Prussia back while crushing France
Bismarck CONSTANT policy was driven by realism and conviction that, by mere size of territory and population, NO DECISIVE VICTORY could be won against Russia !
therefore no war should be fought against her, and Russia was not to be antagonized - therefore gaining her as ally to have a free hand and later watching her more closely was the ONLY policy
this was one of two diplomatic moves to neutralize lateral power to "settle accounts with Austria in private"
The other one was the Biarritz meeting, where Bismarck won France neutrality (or rather (too) slow reaction) by making to the devious, greedy and gullible Napoleon III promises ...commiting only for the later, who believed them.
When, against all expectations, Prussia won a blitz war at Sadowa and concluded a victorious peace before the "powers" could react, it was too late to be in situation to DEMAND "satisfactions", and Napoleon requests met with the "Iron Chancellor" either a wall, or worse a trap uncovering his expansionnist schemes and isolating France further. 
conversely, when Polish insurrection happened, French, British and even Austrian (who exerted on "their" Poles a way more lenient rule) vocal sympathies for the Polish cause irritated the Czar beyond belief.
By contrast, by allowing a "droit de suite", and cross crushing insurgents, Bismarck both protected Prussia integrity from her own allogenous minorities, and won Czar goodwill durably.
so Alvensleben is an opportunity to show a further inflexion of Russian relationships to other powers AND to correct the gameplay of a situation which looks a bit extreme to me.
Indeed, by Polish and Lithuanian insurrection events, the whole of Poland (and kalisz, which is situated in Polish and not German area, but not a bad thing in the end) and Lithuania not only revolt, but see usually, by adding events, between Poles (or Lithuanians) and rebels, Russian loyalty (and german one in kalisz) fall to ZERO for the remainder of the game, which is excessive by all means. some areas like Brest have a consistent Russian minority and should to some extent have Russian rule supporters, even if a minority and even if Poland should rightly be a frequent source of revolts (even semi permanent)
worse even, the absence of Russian loyalty creates an automatic annexation of some areas if (and believe me it happened to me when I played germany) Prussia rushes to crush rebels - I'll show you the map -
In an attemps to all in the same move, protect Prussia from revolters, help the Russian friend, and (most of all) train Prussian generals with easy targets to improve their skills before the Austrian and French challenge (nothing shocking in terms of realism for me, Russian trained their officers in Caucasus, french in Algeria, Britain in their vast colonial Empire), a swift Prussia not only takes over economic facilities (usual, but I guess now nationalizations/expropriations correct this in the long run) but unwillingly annexes slices of Poland and Lithuania before new taken provinces are given back to Czar. (after this is too good to give back, and Prussia couldn't without a script). This is deeply ahistorical and illogical - sure germany won objectives against rebels and not Russia, but this looks more like a "rush to carve poland and a fait accompli" than a freindly gesture for Russia. in real world, Czar would have demanded, and gotten, the return to Russia of prussian gains, or Prussia would have faced an angry, or even durably hostile Russia. so I correct this possible situation (I never lose an opportunity to train my generals :turc
