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. When they arrived in Moscow, the temperature was -12 degrees!
They were able to stay with Russian host families to experience daily life in the city. Their new friends quickly expressed the hope of new beginnings under new leadership now that the era of communisim had come to a close.
