Tsarevich Dmitri Ivanovich becomes Tsar

Dmitri Ivanovich was the youngest son of Tsar Ivan IV of Russia.
Dmitri was Heir to the Russian Throne 1584 to 1591.
His brother was Tsar Feodor I, who reigned 1584-1598. Dmitri died in 1591.
Suppose Dmitri survives and succeeds as Tsar Dmitri I. What happens then?

Since he was only 8 when he died, we can't attribute any political program to him other than the obvious. Boris Gudonov is killed, he marries at a young age and hopefully his wife is very fertile Russia needs heirs to the throne

If the Time of Troubles can be avoided, Russia emerges as the Great Eastern Power much sooner

The Romanovs are a forgotten footnote in history
