The USSR ceased to exist on December 26, 1991. A few weeks later, WRAL News anchor Donna Gregory and WRAL photographer Jay Jennings accompanied the NC Friendship Force on a trip to Russia, now formerly the USSR, in mid-January 1992.
The food crisis was not due to a lack of food, but due to a lack of money to buy the food. For those living on a fixed income of a pension that is the equivalent of three American dollars the challenge to find affordable food is especially difficult.
This is the seventh of 11 reports that aired on WRAL News.
