Explanation:

President Ronald Wilson Reagan, born on the 6th of February, 1911 and died on the 5th of June, 2004. He was the 40th president of the United States of America; served between 1981-1989.

John Hinckley Jr. attempted to assassinate President Reagan on the 30th of March, 1981 in Washington DC but fortunately the president escaped sustaining only a gunshot wound.

In 1988, President Ronald Reagan visited the Soviet Union, where he delivered a motivational speech on democracy and individual rights to the students of Moscow state university.

President Reagan posited that, no country in the world can survive, thrive, grow and develop without allowing some form of democratic freedom such as freedom of expression, freedom of speech, freedom of information, freedom of religion, freedom of thought etc.

Hence, one purpose of President Reagan's address at Moscow state university was to persuade listeners to embrace democratic freedoms because he is considered to be an anti-communist.
