You wake up, it's March 11, 1985, and you have a funny birthmark on your forehead. How do you save the Soviet Union?

Push for centralization, it is that easy. Also push for OGAS. Communist only internet. Decentralization and giving up on OGAS caused the death of Communism.

Ask my financial advisor what nal and beznal are
Don't give the republics more autonomy
Focus on expanding Andropov's policies and gradually introducing market socialism
Do not weaken or attempt to rapidly reform the political apparatus

There's much more than that but I'd start with this

More focus on economic reforms, but a far more careful line on civil liberties and decentralization. The idea is that you can’t plop borders completely open etc. until you have good enough quality of life parity with the west so that you don’t get brain drained to oblivion the moment the possibility becomes reality.

Also, less military spending, also directing that money to the quality of life of common citizens. Not disarmament but reprioritizing, not due to ideology, and I sure as fuck I wouldn’t make noise about it, but the idea is that NATO - SU war isn’t gonna happen either way if I don’t start one, and what good is such a massive military force if you’re facing internal collapse soon? Silently diverting resources elsewhere makes all the sense.

Immediately shut down Chernobyl NPP and ban use of RBMK reactors nationwide.

Gorbachev was unironically a true communist patriot and wanted to restore the party to being a workers' party rather than a brezhnevite oligarchy. He was a true hero.
His only mistake was trying that after Stalin+Khrushchev+Brezhnev fucked up the relations with the rest of the bloc and completely destroyed any goodwill that Lenin had built.
