    Also, promote Andropov to power more earlier, ideally when he turns 40. He’s a good tovarshi, and fresh face of the generation that triumphed over WW2.

        Idk, from what I’ve read over at Socialism Betrayed, there’s this attributed quote from CIA internal files

        “I believe that if [Soviet leader, Yuri] Andropov had been fifteen years younger when he took power in 1982, we would still have a Soviet Union with us.”
