This is a Central Intelligence Agency list, dated 27 January 1991, that indexes Soviet radio commentary broadcast in Mandarin and Japanese. Most entries deal with Foreign Minister Bessmertnykh's visit to the United States, Soviet-Japanese relations, the Baltic situation, Gorbachev's antistrike decree and his monetary reform order. A youth program item mentions a Tashkent UFO report of 26.5 minutes but gives no further detail. The list also includes science items on anaemia research and on day-night phenomena in space activities.
