What Would Be A Soviet Reformer That Is Not Beria Or Malenkov?

I mean, really the only two members of the 1939-1952 politburo who wouldn't be a reformer of some stripe would be Molotov and Kaganovich (at least in so far as I know: unsure about guys like Zhdanov or Andreyev, even ignoring the former died in 1948). Even Khruschev tried a degree of reforms with Destalinization and everything.

Anastas Ivanovič Mikojan. He was one of the first and main supporters of Khrushchev's reforms (he actually was the one who made the first anti-Stalinist speech at the 20th Congress of the Communist Party) and unlike Nikita he was well known for being more cautious in foreign policy (he opposed the installation of nuclear missiles in Cuba for example).
Basically He pushed for the same reforms Khrushchev proposed, but unlike him he had the potential to keep his opponents in check and stay in power

Alexei Kosygin, reformist of the Brezhnevite clique during 1960s, too reformist such that he was demoted after 19th Congress.

Nikolai Voznesensky, Alexey Kuznetsov, Georgy Popov etc., criminals of the Leningrad affair that "wanted to restore capitalism in the U. S. S. R." (Kosygin was suspected to be a member of this group).

Nikita Khrushchev, Nikolai Bulganin, two popular reformists we are all familiar with.

Anastas Mikoyan.
