Documents / FOIA release
This is a Central Intelligence Agency JPRS Report (JPRS-UPA-90-053) dated 1 May 1990. It contains a translation of an article by Lev Tsvetkov, chief specialist in the USSR Council of Ministers Information Department, from the Moscow journal ZHURNALIST. Tsvetkov criticizes one-sided Soviet press coverage of price increases and trade union protests. He urges journalists to cover the move to market relations within the context of the government's economic recovery program. It mentions a UFO only in passing.

## Document 6 of 8 enterprise is an independent goods-producer, then, apparently, one should not become indignant that it has accumulated above-plan reserves-- whether this be equipment, building glass or special clothing--it has the right to sell them at the maximum price. In 'exquisite'' foreign stores the price of the goods on sale threw us into considerable confusion; but we understood and could relate to the fact that along with goods 'for everyone'' there are also goods there (and this is not at all confined to luxury goods or antiques) for the few also. Then why can we not put up with commercial stores at home? And how is this method of drawing off the money some people have accumulated because there were no goods to buy worse than, for example, monetary reform, with the help of which some people are proposing to simply confiscate this money? 48. IZVESTIYA, in short, once again returns our thoughts to the economic recovery program, and once again faces everyone with the choice: Either we take practical steps toward the market, or... Or should we just talk and talk? For how long? 49. COPYRIGHT: Izdatelstvo TsK KPSS ''Pravda'', ''Zurnalist'', 1990
