ITAR – TASS news agency will return to the name it held in the Soviet period – TASS, the Russian newspaper reports.


“The decision was made to return to the historic and globally recognized name of TASS – delivering simply a brand name,” Director General, Sergei Mikhailov said.


The decision was taken at a meeting of the organizing committee that prepares for celebrating the 110th anniversary of the agency.


Founded as the Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union (TASS) in 1925, the agency was responsible for all news content for television, radio and print media.


A year after the Soviet Union collapsed and the Information Telegraph Agency of Russia (ITAR) was established in 1991, former President, Boris Yeltsin, signed a decree to have the news agency renamed ITAR-TASS.


The idea of the TASS brand name is to give people the opportunity to form their knowledge on the basis of exhaustive information about developments./.
