Reagan is still a highly respected figure in Russia. Russians respect that he stood up for them during the dark days of Communism, even if the post-Communist reality has been somewhat of a disappointment for Russians.

From my experience people seem pretty neutral and it is en vogue to dislike Gorbachev.

However: please see the quote on post 6. Unfortunately wasn’t included in prior transcript. I think this was the highlight of the speech.

That is. Reagan and FDR are two most admired US leaders in Russia for different reasons.
Obama and Clinton are least popular.
