This CIA-distributed FOUO item, dated 2 June 1991, summarizes that evening's Vesti news program on Moscow Russian Television, presented by Yuriy Rostov. It lists 15 segments with their time codes. Among them are a commemoration in Novocherkassk of the 1962 shooting of protesting workers, a factory meeting in Mordova in support of Yeltsin, and foreign news. It also records a humorous video report from Astrakhan, a city said to be visited often by flying saucers.
