No. Not really.
Lurker, Reagan took steps which caused the breakup of the Soviet empire. He lured them onto a spending contest that they couldn't win.. It was expensive, but that's the price of freedom and believe me, the Russians with whom I lived and worked last year are grateful.
As artists (dancers, musicians, etc.) their opportunities for genuine self-expression were severely limited under the Soviet Govt.
It is sometimes difficult financially now, sure, but they are free to go where they want and perform as they like.
Maybe you don't like Reagan, but they seemed grateful to him and to the US.
