AH Challenge: Muslim Russia

I tried a Tamerlane POD with the aim of creating a Muslim Russia. Consensus was that the G.H. was on its last legs by that time and the Christian principalities were already on the rise. So something needs to happen to weaken the Christians and strengthen the GH. Maybe a "divide and conquer" approach, rather than a policy that favored Muskovy?

The POD's I had in mind were to have Ivan Kalita executed early in his reign, as well as allowing Uzbeg's heir Tinibeg Khan to survive the conspiracy led by his brother, Janibeg, and from there create a stable line of succession.
