Seeing the crisis of the third century as a Eurasia wide event is interesting. Do you have any links to articles/blog posts etc explaining that perspective?
Also how in detail did the collapse in silver lead to more beaurocratisation? One way would be that they had to evolve a more paper-based financial system along with whatever government regulation that required. But I sense you are not talking about that, rather you are talking about an imperial beaurocracy overseeing food-rents.
On the matter of the Muscovite state being a Christian farming polity that adopted some institutional patterns from pastoralist states, the use of the pastoralist Cossacks as bodyguards, shock troops and order-enforcers increases the congruence.
