President Reagan's Address and Q & A Session at Moscow State University, USSR, May 31, 1988 

Amazing man! I have the highest respect in the world for him.

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.

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.

Im here listening on 6/10/21. This speech is more relevant today than in 1988. This should be heard by every American and shown in every school just to remind us not to give up on our constitutional republic.

Great and inspirational speech indeed from one of the most knowlegeable president of America the late Ronald Raegan

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.

Beautiful, monumental speech. God bless all

He was simply amazing.. this is so full of humility and an easy to comprehend point of view for all people!

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.

Reagan spoke on his own from his heart not from the script. That why I keep on crying.

The Republican Party needs to refresh themselves by listening once again to the the words of Reagan. I believe it would aid them in finding their identity and true path once more. I admire Reagan even though I voted against him. Given today`s rhetoric, Reagan is the voice of sanity for the party.

Marvellous warm speech, which needs to be repeated for every generation. Best wishes from the uk.

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.

The greatest President of the 80s, miss him.

I remember when the news flashed across the TV that our PRESIDENT had passed Away. My eyes got glassy. AMERICA lost a Great Man.

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.

The way he explains things is so easy to understand. What a great man!

Reagan delivered the obituary of the Soviet Union that day.

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.

what a brilliant speech

great American leader. He was truly a role model to American families. Had great charisma and restraint.

I’m listening in July 4th ,2022 and this was probably one of our best presidents! He knew where we were headed long ago if the people started losing their freedoms!

Raegan speaking below Lenin and the sickle and hammer... crazy.... and he still won the Cold War. Genius

Gorbachev definitely knew he was letting the Soviet Union go and knew it was evil, he could of not let this stuff happen. I’m glad he did, good job Reagan RIP

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! #RonaldReagan💚 #MundoLibre🗽

Wonderful Democratic & Dynamic Speaker Ronald Reagan President of America in Moscow University 1988

What a speech

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."

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.

Who's here on 1st April 2022 listening to the greatest President in US history?

One of the great visionary statesmen

What a beautiful presentation, impeccable.

This is how to reason with Russia!

He did us proud!!!

A very good speech, Regan certainly points out the weakness of central planning. Capitalism is far from perfect, as Regan acknowledges, however it is the least worst system that exists.

well it seems even they do not understand his language exactly they feel after a while what he is telling.....great speech.

Reagan was the best!

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.

It is difficult to comprehend that the Republican Party and the last president are of the same political stripe as this graceful man and his philosophy of peace, honesty and humility. What a tragic transformation in only about 30 years.

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.

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

God bless you all family

His inspirational speech reminds me of what Alvin Toffler once had written, in "The Third Wave". What he says here, even today, sounds new, both today have become true in our daily life. And the technology will be exponentially sophisticated.

We sure could use a REAL president now!

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.

Ill RESPECT THEM too. MR. REAGAN AND MARCOS IS A GREAT FRIENDS

Why I am crying?

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.

Brilliant speech

Talk about hitting it just right.

Mr. Reagan,we need you now ...

A man of intellect, humor, judgement, humility and understanding, how different from Drump.

สิทธิ์ของฉัน กิจกรรมของฉัน สิทธิ์บัญชีของฉัน อา้ยเก็บ

Mr President Reagan was the pioneer in open the freedom in comunis for sure thank you 😊

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

the guy to the left of the President looks just like Leo Tolstoy.

Look at the photo of Reagan meeting Gorbachev in Iceland. Reagan is 75 years old, standing out in the cold and looking fit and trim in a dark suit. Gorbachev, age 55, is bundled up in an overcoat and fedora hat, long out of style in the USA, and looking stiff. Gorbachev was 20 years younger than Reagan, but looked like an uncomfortable old man. Just like the famous photo of MacArthur, the 60 year old general, with Emperor Hirohito in 1945. MacArthur wears a messy army uniform, but the Emperor looks like a Looney Tunes character in his (long out of style in the USA) pinstripe suit and tailcoat. It showed the Japanese that their old was was obsolete.

Sometimes I get mad watching this because it makes me sad that politicians don’t talk like this today or the people of the United States think this way.

Reagan was very smart President.

Good speech writers

Even the trees you think nothing of has the freedom to grow. It is not just about pleasing your self at another exspence.

This is brilliant Imagine after all these years the Taliban is back in Afghanistan Reagan is rolling over in his grave :(

Man being the measure of all things, his freedom means progress

This is the exact type of diplomacy that makes for peace between nations. This speech should be required high school curriculum called American History.

Trump was the only President I loved since I fell in-love with Ron

9/5/21. This is the real example of God's chosen one. He wasn't a fake. We must help everyone hear this.

Yeas freedom with traditional values !

Simply wonderful speech by one of the greatest leader

Moscow it's gorgeous have arquitectonicas amazingggg

Naturally, Gorbachev wanted to establish a dialogue between the two countries in order to better understand each other. However, it is strange that he did not understand that this performance at the country's main university meant an ideological collapse for the entire Soviet system. The ideological collapse was subsequently followed by the state one (due to the inconsistency and low quality of the complex of reforms carried out by Gorbachev).

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. Most Respectfully Oscar Felipe Soliz Pagoada

Sadly this needs to be stated in the US now...

WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS GUY CAUZE I MISS HIM

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.

He had clever speech writers.

There are not leaders anywhere like this anymore

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.

Of course I know where I am. I'm on soundstage three at Warner's?!!!!???!!!

I do understand #

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. 😔🙏🇺🇸

Wow didn’t realize he also foresaw the internet age coming in the next two decades!

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)

... " ..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 🇺🇸 ... "

President Reagan you will forever be loved For your inspiration and love and openness justice and equity

I love how he mentions apple 😂

Reagan 1988 speech, Obama tribute to MCain funeral are the speeches ever

The one you should watch is "A Time For Choosing" as it shows how USA politicians should be, rather than how they are.

💯 anderstud

If not the greatest POTUS of the last century certainly top 2. Some would say FDR and I understand their point

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.

Reagan=GOAT.

If only he'd lived to see Google, Facebook, Snapdragon 888 or Dimensity 1200

We Should Title Ronald Reagan, The Eternal President of the United States of America

That's my president

Ronald Reagan was also a movie star,but certainly not a comedian,who became President of a great nation..

People don't talk like that anymore ... and that's a shame.

Great speech with one exception, I would have to disagree with the ideal of a president serving more than two terms.
