Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency listing, dated 26 December 1990, is a consolidated daily list of Moscow radio, TASS and television items monitored that day. It gives a short description of each broadcast, grouped by region and topic. Most items cover the USSR Congress of People's Deputies, Shevardnadze's resignation, Yanayev's nomination as vice-president, the Persian Gulf crisis and year-end reviews. The only UFO content is a Czech/Slovak-language program item in which a boy from an unnamed Uzbek village recalls seeing a UFO.
