Until circa 1500 ad the Novgorad Republic was a massively wealthy state that competed with Poland, Lithuania, Muscovy, and Kiev for dominance of modern day Russia, and eventually failed.

What if, however, the outcome of the battle of Shelon River in July 1471(the major turning point in the Republic's war with Muscovy) was reversed to a decisive Novgorodine victory(eventually leading to Novgorod replacing OTL Russia)?

What sort of impact can we expect on the world with a (relatively) open minded, tremendously wealthy, militaristic republic replacing OTL Russia?
