By watching this video , you get the impression that both leaders had sincere intentions in reducing the tentions between their countries. These are really very nice moments.
because sheep invited wolf. Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall. . .
Unlike today. Not one great leader left anymore. Only an army of idiots!
Trying to defuse the evil empire as Reagan once called it
Reagan has said before that Gorbachev was a reformer who he genuinely thought was doing things for the good
Yes needed: more genuine politicians, men who say what they mean and mean what they say.
I missed that Era when these two Superpower leaders were getting along. Gorbachev even visited Reagan at his ranch, I remember seeing a picture of Gorbachev wearing a cowboy hat with both men laughing. Gorbachev was saddened when Reagan passed away, I'm glad we still get to see these awesome videos of Reagan.
R.I.P pizza man. He will be missed
I remember that photo also! Reagan was my hero. I can’t help but believe that he influenced Gorbachev a great deal. Who would have believed that a true Conservative like Reagan would be the one to make peace with the Soviet Union??
@@gregorycarlson6632 Only Nixon could go to China. Only Reagan could go to Moscow.
I agree and well said :)
Рейган выглядит динамичным чем Горби . А на 20 лет моложе оппонента.🥱
Those were better days, full of optimism, hope and aspirations. Let's hope that a similar era will come again.
R.I.P., presidents.
Fun fact: Gorbachev wasn't president or head of state at that moment, he became when Gromyko died 4 months after this visit.
You have to be "of a certain age" to truly appreciate how amazing these images are
I was born in 1985. I distinctly remember being in nursery school and switching the calendar over from 1989 to 1990. To think that a couple months earlier, the world underwent a seismic shift in geopolitics is just mind boggling to me! As I sat there, eating cookies and picking my nose....
@@gutsfinky I was born when Stalin ran the USSR. Talk about seismic shifts...
@@jamesstuart3346 ha, no kidding!
Well i am born in 1984, so i was too young to appreciate it at the time but since the age of 8 i started getting really interested in history and politics. I get goosebumps when i see such videos. The 90ties were a time of optimism and progress for me. I thought that wave will never stop. But it seems like optimism is taking a break at the moment. I hope it comes back soon. 🙂
I bet the KGB agents and the U.S secret service agents all group together there felt awkward as hell lol
CIA Agent: Wait, isn't that Agent Henry Carter? Why is he in the KGB?
KGB Agent: Isn't that Igor Lebedev? Why is he in the CIA?
I wonder what its like to be a South/North Korean guard at the DMZ
@Rocco Dominic Trying it out now, seems like a scam.
@Rocco Dominic Trying it out, nice! I hacked Obama's and Trumps instagram account. Works all fine. Very nice software!
Even the ammo of their guns is highly incompatible.
I feel nostalgia from these days and I was still a kid.
This two gentleman did amazing things for world peace and proved that where there's a will there's a power.
Belize central america I'm from i agree with u
No they really didn’t how many imperialist wars has been started since the collapse off the Soviet Union with the soviets would off helped
What about neo liberalism cutting in to ours peoples safety net cos the Soviet Union no longer provides an example off anthor successful system
Предатель горбачев
@@user-ts2ot9dv5eGorbachev was a traitor but let me ask u was Khrushchev
These two men had great camaraderie.
They had a great relationship !
They had a great love for peace !
Praise be to God, the Author and Finished of our faith !
Ending communism and breaking up the USSR was the worst thing that happen to Russia, only the USA benefited from this! Russians are still angry about this.
İn politics,there is no peace and no love.
true
Reagan, Gorbachev and Thatcher a time when the world leaders were great and respected.
Thatcher wasn't that great tho there was a reason she was called the iron lady....she was quite the war monger. Unlike RR and MG who were men of peace and diplomacy.
Gorbachev hasn't been respected by the soviet, russian people as he became both a traitor of national interest and a face of Pizza Hut.
Pope John Paul ll
@@stopit9747Thatcher had problems with almost every head of state at this time. Kohl and his predecessor Schmidt, Reagan, Gorbachev, Mitterrand...
Kohl once said about her: "Margaret Thatcher was a fascinating woman. One of the greatest leaders I dealt with. But she never had a real overview about political details."
Determining whether or not you are serious is an excellent example of Poe's law. Reagan and Thatcher are literally still frequently laughed at.
As a 21 year old Gen Z I have become strangely addicted to these Ronald Reagan Videos on UA-cam.
That translator though, you have to be extremely talented and hard working to be able to transalte that fast without too many stops
That's definitely one of the toughest jobs out there 😄
Amazing footage of one of the biggest historical events post WW2.
The Kremlin and Red Square are beautiful and awesome. 👍
Sure, CIA agent Gorby shows Kremlin to his boss. Really amazing moment. In 1991 mission will be çomplished.))
@@andrecolt582 Sure, how about today, the super orc is liberating a "brotherly state" in a ...red manner.... which way is better?
@@andrecolt582 What a load of crap of that event in 1988 with the JOKE of a summit between two world-class criminals: Reagan and Gorbachev! As for the end of the Cold War: What happened in 1991 was a completely historical JOKE of an era as well!
Ronald Reagan causes me the BEST FEELINGS. Reading his biography and learning about him was the best thing i did, when it comes to meet a president. Such a great leader. Not perfect, but quite honest and guided by good values.

Mr. Gorbachev was such a gracious host. Beautiful to see this.
Two great leaders with true human Values and true care for the welfare of humanity ! Love them and miss them dearly .
two most powerful men, walking.
hail the peace.
Gorbachev was so unlike all of the Soviet leaders that preceded him (stiff, stern, seemingly inflexible, and with wives who looked like beasts) that he totally revised the world’s impression of the USSR/Russia.
That’s how the media frames things
True!!
@@gregorycarlson6632 Western Propaganda. Gorbachev was a hard core Stalinist.
@@kimobrien. uh, I don't know that I'd call him a STALINIST. A true-believer, communist, yes. Not a Stalinist. I think he really believed he could reform the USSR from the inside out.
@@kimobrien. I really DO NOT think that Gorbachev was some kind of Stalinist in any way, but he was a world-class criminal in terms of his so-called "reforms" in the dying days of Soviet Union, unfortunately. After all, Gorbachev learned about Stalin in almost the same way that Khrushchev did in 1956 as well!
15:31 cameraman almost kick out the general secretary of ussr
it was a last day of his career
@@dungeon_masster. and his life
Great moment in World History. - The scenery in Moscow and what was them Leningrad (St. Petersburg) is out of this world.

@@andrecolt582 Gorbachew tried to save the USSR. But it was already to late; communism destroyed (paradoxically) the USSR.
@@solarisy456 absolutely wrong, man. Gorby started reforms which DESTROYED country. This is opinion of 90% of russians.
@Don't Tread On Me absolutely bullshit. famine in the USSR was only in the 30s. As in the us by the way. During the great depression, millions of Americans starved to death in the United States. But that wasn't a reason to destroy the us, was it?
@@andrecolt582 Actually Gorbachev's reforms tried to save ussr from the riots and uprisings, that indicated overall social tension, the union was about to collapse and he just didn't want any civil wars in the region, which would lead to big bloodshed, you may look at him the way you want, but he prevented a very highly possible civil war within the country that would lead to the union collapsing just a few years later, instead he made a peaceful transit from su to rf.
The little boy at 17:40 was like, damn, wished i could go back with Reagan to America
Ever notice his father is putin ?
@@joshuaburris6805 wat
@@asmrbully6980 18:10 look at the guy with the cameras around his neck in striped shirt if that's not putin than he could easily be an impersonator
@@joshuaburris6805 It is. That was finally proven a few years back.
It is Putin. A young KGB spy
So strange. “Look at our beautiful park.” “Yes, it is quite lovely. We should both agree not to blow it up” “agreed!” And thats world politics in real life folks.
Agree 1000%. But as long as Putin is running the show in Russia with authoritarian power and smothering the opposition, there will be no "detente' between the USA and Russia because Putin is dementially obsessed with his doomsday wonder weapons. The real problem for the future of the humanity is China's Xi Jinping and his totalitarian government.
@@NJTDover funnumy how tou assume that the problem in Russia is Putin. Russia's next future leaders will always oppose USA, no one wants another Yeltsin.
@@NJTDover what are your thoughts on Putin today?
Say what you will, but because of the socio-political processes and events at that time, in which those two people were greatly involved, we didn't exterminate each other and luckily still exists as species on this planet. Also the talk about Mars... The desire to have a common goal, which is above everything (figuratively and literally speaking), is incredible.
Imperialism remains the highest stage of capitalism.
Gorbechov speaks very nicely to the Soviet citizens and to Regan. I really admire Gorbechov for not supporting Eric Hoenecker with the hard-line approaches which eventually led to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
RIP General Secretary Gorbachev
The man and a leader meet they both have seen love for the country and have built more are they symphaty.
Can u imagine being able to call that ‘squad’
19:02 They talk about “Mars exploration” in 1988
They look like just two down to earth men,but actually they were two most influential people in the world
Gets me teary eyed watching this video. I was born in the later 70's & grew up in the 80's. Ive tried to Explain this time period & the Impact of Pres. Reagan & Pres. Gorbachev to my kids, it's hard for them to ieven magine.
17:41 Putin disguised as a tourist. Thats realy crazy.
Holy shit! You’re right! Great find!
@@tjbbmr DARK 5 made a video on this years ago check his you tube channel out for it. its good

it's not him, he was in Germany, equipping raf terrorists with weapons and torturing dissidents in Bautzen prison
Two Great Leaders Of The 20th Century.
@@andrecolt582 And as I continue to read your replies, you appear to be a Class A ignorant troll.
Andre Colt Churchill was a vile, drunken pervert who perpetrated atrocities at the behest of his Zionist paymasters
@@andrecolt582 Yeah. Commie Stalin was a fascist, yes FASCIST (look up what a fascist is), leader who slaughtered more innocents than Nazi Hitler. Why aren't you praising all of the murdering fascists like Mao, Castro, and Pol Pot? Mao killed millions more than even Stalin.

На самолетах где прощается прекрасно кадры и почётный гость...
Remind me my college days,I like to see this video again and again... hope such peaceful time come once again...
What a truly talented man that translator is 🎉
GORBY WAS A GREAT HOST AND HIS WIFE WAS TRULY STUNNING !
Who is going to be today’s Reagan,Gorbachev and Thatcher? The world need them now!
Them and their profit maximization policies lead to the crisis of 2008.
Ronald Reagan - the best president of my generation!
Video quality is remarkably good for 1988.
When the our relationship with Russia was better than it is now. And hell, that was the Soviet Union.
Sad but True
This was an incredible moment in history, an American president being given a personal tour by the General Secretary of the Communist Party. One can only imagine what the world might look like if Gorbachev hadn't been forced out in the coup, and he had been able to reform the Soviet Union, and turn it into something like a Western European Social-Democracy. If the Soviet Union, and the US had been able to become allies despite their ideological differences the world would probably be a much more peaceful, and prosperous place. A Russian-American alliance is a dream of mine, together our nations would be the undisputed world powers, if we could form a mutually beneficial trade agreement we could more or less drive China out of the market, and in doing so grow our own manufacturing sectors, thus making our average citizens much, much more wealthy, and help India grow without under cutting us the way the Chinese have. I would love to live in that world, American built Cadillacs transporting Russian leaders, and Russian built Ladas providing poorer Americans cheaper, reliable transportation. A joint Russian-American Imternational Space Agency putting men on mars as representatives of humanity rather than one nation or another. It really could have been the so called "end of history."
Gorby is fuckin cia agent and is damned in Russia
Andre Colt you are damned in Russia cause you're a pro Putin imbecile
Man as person from baltic states, I don't want to have anything in common with soviet Union or be art of it. To you it's easy to speak when you didn't see life in soviet Union. They say what you have to do, what to think.
@Sayan Datta why should I join UK?
No because capitalism can not escape the Imperialist stage of history.
I remember when Reagan and Gorbachev came to Williamsburg va. For a summit meeting
These images are truly amazing . Those born after may not really understand the significance of these meetings ...
When World peace matter. Greetings from Ukraine
Amen to that.

that's not putin, putin was in east germany at that moment
I remember the cold war. It got really scary. These two leaders were very brave to communicate. The 80s and 90s was a great prosperous time. I remember it fondly. I had a Russian penpal and they were intelligent family people. Let's not forget the 30 years we have all been trading and coexisting at the international space station. Thankyou Russia for liberating the world from hitler. And thankyou America for risking diplomacy and helping us all to live a better life.
and now we are suffering thanks to the Wuhan lab
@@ayusharyal5877 actually is from the cow dung variant
dont be scared as its unhealthy
Well it's a double edged sword, it is because then the Soviets came in our countries in Eastern Europe and destroyed everything that was good and impoverished our nations. We had a democracy, capitalist system before they rammed in and did a bunch of damage, shot people to death, put them in prison, liquidated farms for the best crops, meat. A Westerner can't imagine how evil and wicked communism is. It dudn't work. Plus it makes people lazy. The Americans didn't give a rats arse to come and liberate our nations from the Russians. The Russians were poor too and poorly managed.
Beautiful when people work for peace

Oh how we wish for two leaders of this ilk on this very day. Do they even exist anymore?
Reagan looks amazed at everything as though he's never seen buildings before
*****
Surely he would have seen pictures of Russia though
He was probably thinking "Damn, these people need more foreign aid"

symptom of dementia
Reagan's mind is blown at the history shock.

He looks tired.
well it looks like everywhere but the Red Square that we usually see on the telly.

imagine being that translator man.
well he sure got paid lol, I'd love to do that too. Sadly i speak broken english
No, your English is good. God Bless from an ordinary American.
President Reagan was 77 years old. Compare the way he walks to our present (sigh) leader's gait.
Two great leaders ... have to admire both for what they did during their time in office... I remember meeting Samantha Smith when I was 11... While on vacation in Maine... All three did a great deal to reduce the threat of nuclear war ...
As long as Imperialism dominates the world than nuclear war will always be possible.
Two of the most powerful leaders in the history of mankind…both are very missed in 2024….and they were the last breed of true gentleman
This Is the real President both of them look like normal person ..not like Putin or trump
I wonder what became of that young boy. What a moment of history to be a part of. Amazing footage, thank you for uploading this.
Roman is the boys name, Gorbachev asked him what he thought about the President's visit, whether it was good. ;)
Well can't say about him but the man beside him with camera surely become Vladimir Putin 🌚
How nice & beautiful !
Bravo! World Peace !👈✌
WWIII postponed for 45 years only, I am afraid
I like Gorbachev, he looks like a good man
Rest in peace Gorby
Being a translator must be difficult. One must speak while listening and be certain of precise translation each time

@@andrecolt582 Gorbachev was Stalin's best pupil.
@@kimobrien. With all due respect to you, where's the proof? Besides, Gorbachev was NOT in any way a Stalinist. Furthermore, he was born in 1931 and he had changed because of the revelations of Stalin's crimes by Khrushchev in 1956! Come on, Kim!
10:50 So cute!!!
GOD...BRING BACK THE 80'S PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
Historic
President Reagan and President Kennedy are the best American ever had of my time. I love both of them and the history they both made during their time in office. May their soul rest in peace
One of the greatest history documents.
Great stage management. The public are conned as usual.
Он км н и с юмором! Умен и интеллигентен!!!
It’s good to see that men can put aside their differences to advance a much greater goal of peace for our planet. We owe it to our future generations. President Kennedy once said, “Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.”
The youth of today have no idea or respect of this video...
Can you imagine that little kid today - he was held by Gorbachev and shook hands with Reagan.
Reagan the cold warrior who invaded Granada supported the Contras and South Africa's racist invasion of Angola.

o kim wy pishete?
May 1988. Two months before my youngest daughter was born. Do I remember the word "perestroika??"
At 2:40 Gorbachev tells Reagan that Napoleon burned down a large portion of Moscow lol, it wasn’t Napoleon. The Russians set Moscow aflame because they would rather their capital burned than Napoleon capture it.
its a legend, no one knows exactly the theory. The only thing is, never mess with Russian during winter :)
Who cares?
Andre Colt I do
indeed the Russians burned down their own city, the reason: to cause attrition for Napoleons army, and rather have it fall then in the hands of the french, Napoleon expected a Peace treaty after the fall of Moscow, but the Russians would have none of it, knowing that Napoleon had to fall back to Smolensk due the lack of supplies , they had a plan all along
Napoleon ordered St Basils to be destroyed but the order was not carried out; cant remember the exact reason why.
PEACE to be number one 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yeah
Люди на Красной площади тщательно отобранные,успешно прошедшие инструктаж КГБ.
As a German I must say that Reagan was one of the best presidents the US ever had.
Yep. But how come both Germany and Sweden nowadays just vote for Globalist scum?
Long live Germany! Dont let German history be taken over

@KalterKrieger - Well, NOT EVERY American feels that way about a world-class criminal like Ronald Reagan anyway!
I remeber watching it on tv ..i was i was 16 yrs old.
"Yes Mikhail I know these places. I've played 'Raid Over Moscow' hundreds of times".
By paying attention to Gorbachev's attitudes, as well as Reagan's, of course, and by listening to him today, one can tell that he didn't really follow the country's communist laws. The Belin wall says it all. Both were remarkable leaders.
I liked these people accidentally happen to be on the square when two president were walking around... :) :) :)

Late 1980s - Golden years of the USSR / US friendship.
Bro can I know from you what is that country today called?
I mean USSR or souviet union? What is today's that country's name
USSR and Soviet Union is the same thing. Usually, people say Soviet Union.
Good example is USA. Many people don't say USA. Usually, folks say America or United States.
Soviet Union does not exist anymore. The country dissolved into 15 independent countries. Including, Russia, Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia, Lituania, Belorussia, Molova, Georgia, Kazakhstan, etc.
Never trust Americans - NEVER.
Also don’t trust Gorbachev.
@@xgamerbih Good people and bad people are everywhere, buddy! As for Gorbachov, he did the right thing, the USSR needed reforms.
