A timeline by Willster22.

What if Ivan the Terrible of OTL had died as a child. It would have essentially left the line of succession empty, as his only brother was deaf mute. Ivan was the first Tsar of Russia, and his death could've lead to an earlier Time of Troubles. Novgorod could've risen again, as it was still prior to the Massacre of Novgorod. Well, this timeline will explore one line of possibilities if this had happened.
