The USSR was already unsalvageable by the 80s.
Eh, If you were a literal superhero, you could probably get things to change. An entrenched and inflexible bureaucracy wouldn't be willing to give up power for needed changes and reforms, but if threatened with a literally unstoppable super-owl, they might step down and accept far reaching reforms that aren't just capitulating to capitalism. Like, great-person theory would actually work with superman-level OP superheros.
Not even a little bit. Gorb had started the process of privatization but the CPSU still held enough power to say "well, that didn't work" and revert control of major industries all the way to '91, but chose instead to double down on neoliberalism and keep making things worse.
By the time of the coup attempt against Gorbachev, it may have been impossible to salvage things without sparking a second Russian Civil War, but that's something we'll never know.
Thats a damn shame :ussr-cry:
Not if you had lazer vision.
