I'm not sure what you mean about looking up my degree and specialty on Wikipedia? Is that supposed to be some knock? Because the example about Soviet standards of living peaking under Brezhnev was from memory. It's a factoid that has stuck with me.

You credited Reagan with "winning the Cold War" so I'm not sure in what other way that would apply.

In reality, the Soviet Union made the decision to lose far more than we "beat" them.
