MOSCOW (AP) Hundreds of people clamoring to buy imported videocassette recorders surrounded stores in a Russian city for five days, and some even staged a hunger strike and protests demanding the chance to buy the precious goods, a newspaper said Sunday. It was the latest show of discontent among Soviets, who are deprived of many consumer goods.

The 'newspaper Sovietskaya Rossiya described the incident in the Russian city of Yaroslavl as a "video uprising." The disturbance began when word went out that imported VCRs for workers who had earned foreign currency had been delivered to a store in Yaroslavl, an industrial city about 125 miles northeast of Moscow. About 200 people immediately surrounded the store and sat through the night, demanding they be given the chance to buy the VCRs as well. Two other stores that also received shipments were similarly besieged, the newspaper said. At dawn of the fourth day, the angry residents launched a protest on the central town square. Eventually, city authorities persuaded the workers who were to receive the VCRs to share some of their spoils with the public, the newspaper said.

But when the store at the center of the turmoil did not immediately begin selling some of its 158 VCRs to all customers the next day, a group of citizens declared a hunger strike. Finally, after five days of turmoil, a happy buyer walked out of the store with the first VCR, called the local TV station and declared: "Victory! The Panasonic is in my hands!" Sovietskaya Rossiya said this was the first time in Yaroslavl history that videocassette recorders were sold freely to the public. Traditionally, imported electronic goods have been quietly distributed only to the party and government elite or sold on the black market, where a VCR can cost as much as $6,400. These days, under the Kremlin's economic reforms, factories that earn foreign currency are generally allowed to decide for themselves how to spend it, and they frequently buy Western consumer goods for their workers. Residents of the central Russian city of Sverdlovsk took their frustration to the streets in similar unrest Dec.

29, when a crowd upset by a vodka shortage halted city transport. Communist Party officials soothed them and flooded the stores with vodka, and the crowd dispersed when people rushed off to buy their bottles, the newspaper Rabochaya Tribune, or Worker's Tribune, reported. The Sovietskaya Rossiya story did not specify which days the "videouprising" look place. Public Records Births Baptist alla-Rosa, Kim and Victor, Oklahoma City, a boy.
