Explanation:

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union, as a communist state, aimed to spread communism globally. Proxy wars were a means to expand communist influence, competing with the US's capitalist - democratic sphere. Freeing colonial countries was more of a de - colonization trend not the main Soviet objective here, empowering developing nations was not the core, and ending democracy was not the primary goal (the focus was on spreading communism).

C. to spread communism
