Documents / FOIA release
This is an unclassified CIA broadcast monitoring listing titled "Comlist: Moscow Consolidated", dated 26 January 1991 and approved for release in February 2010. It catalogues the day's Soviet radio, TV and TASS items by topic. Coverage includes the Persian Gulf war, Foreign Minister Bessmertnykh's trip to the United States, unrest in the Baltic republics, the withdrawal of 50 and 100 ruble banknotes, and India's Republic Day. One entry, a repeat from a Korean-language service, notes world interest in the sighting of a UFO.
