WI: Elizabeth of Russia dies in 1757

Her nephew, Peter of Holstein-Gottorp becomes Emperor of Russia as Peter III. He would establish obligatory education for aristocrats. He would still establish the manifesto of 1762 that exempted the nobility from obligatory state and military service and gave them freedom to travel abroad.
After the Grand Duke Paul, Peter and Catherine have more children.
 
7 years war already started and if he was already a fan of Friedrich and switches sides as he did OTL than Austria is in big trouble. Assuming the Prussians take what they wanted and dont decide to get more than they annex Saxony, Swedish Pommern and a big part of Bohemia.
