Natan Scharansky was a Russian dissident rotting in a Gulag cell in Siberia, when he saw a copy of Pravda with a Soviet condemnation of Reagan's "evil empire" speech.
The awareness that an American President was standing up to the Soviet leaders and calling their regime evil spread through the gulag like a prairie fire, and lifted the spirits of the prisoners more than any news ever had.
This was a psychological tipping point in history, and communism's days were marked from that moment on. The era of detente and "peaceful coexistence," (the guarantee of perpetual communism) was over.
God Bless you, Ronald Reagan!
