Amazing man! I have the highest respect in the world for him.
He was the real deal.
Easily amused.
He is a terrorist supporter@@jackchambers332
He is a terrorist sponsor
This is absolutely one of the most brilliant speeches in history. It should be compulsory to watch and study this speech for all high school students all over the world.
I absolutely agreed with you.
Absolutely
Why over the world
In stead of teaching SOCIALISM !!!!
☯️🔲🔲
He was simply amazing.. this is so full of humility and an easy to comprehend point of view for all people!
This was so refreshing ,I had forgotten how funny Ronald could be, what a treat what a great example for our future students
There is a reason he was called the great communicator!
eat bulaga judgemental
Many years ago, rather young, and listening to others instead of the man himself, I realized later than I should have what an intelligent & good man Pres. Reagan was. I have listened for some years now to all his speeches I may, on internet...also have read books (and hear) the many speeches of President Kennedy and find out what fine men they both were. I hope/pray we will have leaders like these two men soon. In 2022 I say this. This a great speech.
With some imagination and patience, I have been able to edit down that which you have tried to write. So, please proofread or ask someone to help before printing or sending messages to so many for their comprehension 👌🏻
Reagan and Kennedy were the best orators of the presidents whose speeches got recorded.
Marvellous warm speech, which needs to be repeated for every generation. Best wishes from the uk.
Reagan spoke on his own from his heart not from the script. That why I keep on crying.
Yes,looks like this.
I've kept on crying too whole his speech. What world we living now... at least post soviet union countries instead of progress going straight down on the way of regress... watching this makes you cry
Yes He did. He was real.
Yup. Nancy Reagan noted one particular reason, personality/character trait on Ronald why she fell in love with him, which was that he was *not* consumed by egos. So, never talking about himself or doing something to make himself the center of attention.
The way he explains things is so easy to understand. What a great man!
The words of this man are as relevant today as they were then. There was no other man, no other leader like this man. The GOP needs to listen to this speech and heed his spirit of American exceptionalism, patriotism and honor. I miss this man more than words can say.
There is no American exceptionalism. Asia and Africa will overtake you in the 21st century!
I was born in Liverpool England in 1982, so I don’t remember much of Reagan. But I do always remember growing up believing he was a sort of joke figure. I think it was popular culture that lead me to think that way, but I’m not sure. This speech blows all those thoughts out the water. Wow! The world needs a leader like this man, right now. Impeccable.
Ronald Reagan, uno de los mejores Presidentes que ha tenido Estados Unidos 🇺🇸, y, que el “destino”, ha dado al Mundo.
Qué HOMBRE! Qué gran Americano y qué increíble ser humano!! Cuanto lo admiro!! Valores de Moralidad, de Libertad, de Paz, de Familia, de Amistad, de Progreso…. de ESPERANZA por un Mundo mejor y más Libre! Un GRANDE, que permanecerá para siempre en la Historia!!! Un honor escucharle. Que Dios lo acoja en el Cielo! Y, si puede, desde “allá”, ayude, de nuevo, a este Mundo tan convulso, tan corrupto y con la Libertad amenazada.
Desde España 🇪🇸🇪🇺, con todo mi corazón por Ronald Reagan! GRACIAS, por tus logros!

It's still surprising even today that the Soviet Union even allowed him to make the speech but good on them for doing so and as an American I couldn't have asked for a better ambassador than Mr. Reagan. ( also I'm a Democrat so shh! we won't talk about that) Lol love this man.
There is an old Vulcan proverb:"Only Nixon could go to China".
The Soviet government didn't like Gorbachev. They thought he was a wimp.
@@MondoBeno the government ... ok but THE PEOPLE loved him for opening THE world for them.
@@mikevp5303 No. The Soviet people saw him as a traitor or just an incompetent fool for liberalizing and causing the union to collapse.
This was during Gorbachev's time, towards the end of the cold war. At this time he was implementing many of his reforms and like perestroika and glasnost.
And thats why at this time the Soviet Union was opening up to things like this and going through a period of reform.
I just finished Bret Baiers' book about the end of the cold-war where he uses this speech as a way to enter the story, and was glad to see it didn't disappoint. He was a truly great President.
He was indeed a great president.
This is the message from the heart of us in all the Western world in these dark days of March 2022. Hope some of you that are better on computers than me can spread this into Russia.
great American leader. He was truly a role model to American families. Had great charisma and restraint.
You can tell that his visits to the USSR were awkward. Both the walk on the red square, as well the visit to soviet universities. But that's exactly why he did them. He wanted to restore the diplomatic relations and spread the word of democracy as best as he could.
What a speech
Given the state of our Nation WE THE PEOPLE could sure benefit from the wisdom of President Ronald Reagan and the elegance of First Lady Nancy Reagan. President Reagan didn't do everything correctly but he always did things he thought benefitted the citizens of this Nation, protected the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the rule of law.
President Reagan strengthened this Nation and never sold WE THE PEOPLE to other nations or corporate or personal greed.
Wonderful Democratic &
Dynamic Speaker Ronald
Reagan President of America in Moscow
University 1988
Raegan speaking below Lenin and the sickle and hammer... crazy.... and he still won the Cold War. Genius

How old are you? Gorbachev had intellectual prowess. Reagan, republicans, Washington underestimated Gorbachev; initially thinking that Gorbachev was a typical Soviet mold of old stodgy generic leadership. As soon as Gorbachev became leader of USSR he was on a mission to transform the country into a modern family of the world. Washington was stunned when Gorbachev brought down the Berlin Wall. Absolutely stunned. They didn't trust Gorbachev. They actually thought it was a trick! I remember that. But they were happy later. I was there
@@Tecumseh4-k2z
What are you smoking?
Reagan forced Gorby’s hand. Reagan bankrupt the USSR.
@@phk121
Cigars! How about you?
@@phk121
I was there and followed it closely
Ultimately, both leaders gained the respect of each other, and trust was developed. Anything else son?
@@Tecumseh4-k2z Gorbachev didn't take down the wall, the German people did.
This is one of the most beautiful and powerful speeches i have heard in a long time! About the value of freedom and peace.
I'm not ashamed to admit i almost teared up at times with Reagan's beutiful delivery about Russia's history and culture and the hope for peace and freedom.
How i would have loved to see the US and USSR finally come together in peace after all the decades of conlfict they went through.
This being towards the end of the cold war with the Soviet Union undergoing rapid reform and change, finally opening up to things like this.
I would have loved to see Gorbachev's reforms succeed and see America and Russia at peace finally.
God bless you all family
Im here listening on 5/6/24. This speech is even more relevant today than in 1988. Unfortunately...
He did us proud!!!
He made decent human beings on this planet proud. He was one of the greatest of leaders who governed the best country in the world "USA". I am not an American but
just imagine if there are leaders like him in every country.
So profound when we keep it simple. "People don't cause wars, governments do." Answers many of today's issues we face. "Given the choice of war or peace, the people will always choose peace."
So true. Peace ✌✝🙏 ... Amen.
@26:25 .. ' Americans always seek to make friends ... '
The greatest President of the 80s, miss him.
Of the 80s?
@@teddyt1Of the 20th century.
well it seems even they do not understand his language exactly they feel after a while what he is telling.....great speech.
Johnny johnny z
One of the great visionary statesmen
I agree this should be played again a series of Presidents Ronald Reagan’ speeches ..we need to stop and listen to his message ..instead of listening to all this rhetoric that is going on ..All Americans need to unit as people not divided by color.
This message needs to be played in American schools History classes.
Most probably the audience were members of the KGB pretending they were students. Great speech
The questions were undoubtedly fielded. Not sure if they were KGB, though. As I understand it, during Reagan's and Gorbachev's walk in red square, the "everyday average Russian citizens" that they met there were in fact KGB agents.
@@terranceclark9749 th-cam.com/video/LZUu5WraroM/w-d-xo.html that wouldnt be all that surprising, considering the guy at the 9:57 time mark in that video looks a hell of a lot like a young putin, who was a KGB at the time
Reagan was very smart President.
Reagan was the best!
Why I am crying?
He was simply amazing.. this is so full of humility and an easy to comprehend point of view for all people!
I guess you are not the only one who is crying watching this...
Mr President Reagan was the pioneer in open the freedom in comunis for sure thank you 😊
What a beautiful presentation, impeccable.
I love the little hints he gives in his speech of how the American way is a better way. Individualism, government planning cannot replace millions of people and the the advancement of the human spirit when released from slavery. He knew what he was saying and wanted the Russian people to hear it. And they would act on what they heard on December 25th 1991.
Magnificent...
Ill RESPECT THEM too. MR. REAGAN AND MARCOS IS A GREAT FRIENDS
The man really knew how to handle himself and hold court, say what you want. I didn’t start appreciating that aspect of him until later Presidents started...losing form.
As one, well in age "old man" life has shown me that it's not about me, but what I can and should do for others. I stayed lost most of my life searching for the good life and working for something that escaped me. Marriage, companionship, children so full of life, wealth, and friendship, but I had nothing until I was free. After years a hole in my soul was filled in an instance and for good, because of my salvation in Jesus christ. President Reagan, a great man, a great American, still causes a stirring in my heart with his words of peace and strength. We need that so much today. President Trump, in like manor, stirs my heart today and causes me to stop and reflect on that feeling, which brings me to my knees in prayer, for he and his family, my country and we the people. God bless the children of God, Our Flag, our family, and peace to everyone

A man of intellect, humor, judgement, humility and understanding, how different from Drump.
The problem with everything, is you and your kind. It's you and those like you who are the problem of the world. Rid us of you already.
you are the problem
Errr Biden !!!!!!!!!!!
Talk about hitting it just right.
Trump was the only President I loved since I fell in-love with Ron
Love of country in our face. Love of fellow human.
Reagan is rolling in his grave seeing what Donnie T did to his beloved country.
"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" - Reagan "This is an island, surrounded by...water...big water...ocean water" - Donnie T learning what an island is.
Yep
Here is a President almost 90 years old. Folks, look at the huge difference between a real leader compared to what we have today? We are falling as a nation sad to say we can see the huge difference here in this eloquent speech.
Reagan is 77 in this video.
I pray for the Russian people. They have been through so much due to their government. People just want to live in peace and be happy. That's all we want. We don't want war, violence, or hatred. I've seen war and you do not want it. It solves nothing.
Mr. Reagan,we need you now ...
9/5/21. This is the real example of God's chosen one. He wasn't a fake. We must help everyone hear this.
Simply wonderful speech by one of the greatest leader
This is brilliant Imagine after all these years the Taliban is back in Afghanistan Reagan is rolling over in his grave :(
We need another strong pro-American to rise up and lead our nation, after HONEST elections.
We had a Russian exchange student visiting our church about 5 years ago as an exchange student!
She was warmly welcomed by us all.
This man has outsmarted everybody! Look for his return....who else do you want to see? ❤ Rebecca Ann Grubb
This is the exact type of diplomacy that makes for peace between nations. This speech should be required high school curriculum called American History.
Good speech writers
Sadly this needs to be stated in the US now...
Man being the measure of all things, his freedom means progress
WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS GUY CAUZE I MISS HIM
Brilliant speech
There are not leaders anywhere like this anymore
Moscow it's gorgeous have arquitectonicas amazingggg
Now… we have Biden.. How far we have fallen.
We fell before Biden. Trump was hardly a uniter...in fact, he supported the widening divide. He never even tried.
Still, up from the bottom of the pit America fell into with Trump at the White House.
Shit we have fallen down the rabbit 🕳.
It's amazing how Russia stayed strong led by the communist party despite this speech of former president Reagan that is so alluring as he discussed freedom to these university students.
Студенты хотели свободу, но её не хотели старцы в Кремле
President Reagan you will forever be loved
For your inspiration and love and openness justice and equity
We Should Title Ronald Reagan, The Eternal President of the United States of America
... " ..The explorers of the modern era are the entrepreneurs .... . these entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for all of the economic prosperity of America 🇺🇸 ... "
Love the joke at the very end there. Don't think the bulk of the people there could relate. God knows we need leadership like this now. 😔🙏🇺🇸
Amen!
Real leaders are rare. Reagan was a true Patriot leader.
A president taking questions?
This is when God was still blessing America I no longer see this with the so called leader we have in office today.
I still believe there's hope for this country. All we need is a push in the right direction from a leader who knows what he's doing, just like in 1981.
Reagan 1988 speech, Obama tribute to MCain funeral are the speeches ever
Now a big problem today is computer technology.
"The difference is that in American, powers of the government are those given to it by the people; not people's rights being those that government gives them." (@46:32)
Reagan=GOAT.
Thank you so much for your great messages Mr President Reagan always will remember and Appreciated the Sentiment of university of Soviet Union and United States of America founded on the fact time for choosing I am found this counsel to be true with faith and sacrifices we support forward throughout the world to make changes for better consequences and don't cause unnecessary stress to each person, President Donald John Trump with power effectively forcing the Republic Government, also we were taught about the plan of salvation during pre-earth life which Jesus Christ our lord 🙏 was chosen as the saviour and the light of the world and that through Him we would be able to overcome the effects of our wrong choices and the important part of our Heavenly father plan was for us to come to earth to received a phisical body and to learn to make correct choices, sometimes we would not remember living in Heavenly father is presence but He give us the ability to know right from wrong.

Reagan, I want my factory job, pension, safe streets, and union back...
So does our President however the Democrats continue to block the opening up of our economy, for pure political reasons with their continuing the Doom and Gloom reporting that scares many Americans. Dems. want our country to FAIL!
If not the greatest POTUS of the last century certainly top 2. Some would say FDR and I understand their point
People don't talk like that anymore ... and that's a shame.
Perfect speach we really stuffed up by saying NO to Russia when they asked to join NATO after the USSR fell and herewe are today in conflct again over nothing
🇺🇸 Ronnie might not have liked Trump's "personality" but he certainly would have approved all Trump's policies, actions, and results 100%, with two thumbs up 👍👍
I disagree. Reagan worked tirelessly to support a unified America. #45 did more to tear us further apart than any other president. Reagan was a moderate, conservative in some policies while progressive in others. He wa a great proponent of the first amendment. Trump's "personality" was a problem, but only a small part.
@@lisabauer9123 Regan's being "progressive" was within the normal meaning of "progress". Today the word "progressive" somehow stands for Socialist, a gateway to Communism.
I don't think so
@@Tecumseh4-k2z which part?
@@lisabauer9123 I disagree about your comment on President Trump. It’s the media and the Democrats that divided this country. The biggest problem with Trump was he has zero restraint. That ultimately was his downfall. Nothing about his rhetoric suggested he was a racist, misogynist, or some sort of “divider”. The media’s tendency to take his words out of context and ultimately the Democrats opportunistic and deceptive actions are the problem (and still is). To be honest I never wanted Trump to be president due to his poor public perception that made it easy for his opponents to attack. But I voted for him because there is nobody capable in the GOP. There was nothing wrong about Trump’s policies.
RIP President Reagan there will never be any leader like him again.
When he returned he said they look like guys from Iowa. National Review reviled him for losing the cold war.
Wow didn’t realize he also foresaw the internet age coming in the next two decades!
That's my president
Reagan would be considered a Rino these days.
Boy oh boy don’t you wish we could have cloned him?
Ronald Reagan was also a movie star,but certainly not a comedian,who became President of a great nation..
He was the last great statesman america had... So far...
Of course I know where I am. I'm on soundstage three at Warner's?!!!!???!!!
And this is how China thanks and appreciates what the west has given to them.
💯 anderstud
And they call it "The cold war era" look what's happening now.
Send a link to Trump.
Good speech, it”s too bad all of the problems America has to day can be traced back to him though. Literally everything from credit, high fructose corn syrup, drugs being pushed in poorer neighborhoods, and etc.
I do not think Putin was listening.
who was clapping cheeks right at the beginning of the vid lol
I love how he mentions apple 😂
Shows how far we have fallen and how democracies are falling
บ้างที่เราก็ตรงก่อนไปและต้องขอโทษด้วยครับ
เดี่ยวกับแม้ว+คือคนเดียวกันครับ+อภิชาติ_สุขเจริญยศ🐺🦸🦂
That is bloody pretty
Reagan made his best speeches, in the 60s, about 20 years, before his actual, Presidency.🤔🤷
And he was definitely, a puppet, of the Banks, during his presidency.🤔😒🤷
I do understand #
This speaking to Soviet students fell flat.
