The Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union ((ロシア語:Телеграфное агентство Советского Союза), ''Tyelyegrafnoye agyentstvo Sovyetskogo Soyuza''; acronym TASS) was the central agency for collection and distribution of internal and international news for all Soviet newspapers, radio and television stations. It had a monopoly on official state information which was delivered in the form of ''TASS Report'' ((ロシア語:Сообщение ТАСС), ''Soobshchyeniye TASS''). It was established on 25 July 1925 by a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. TASS was created from the Russian Telegraph Agency (ROSTA), the first state news agency in Soviet Russia. The agency was frequently used as a front organization by the Soviet intelligence agencies, such as NKVD and GRU. Many of its employees also served as informants for the NKVD (later, the KGB). In 1959, Alexander Alexeyev was dispatched to Cuba on a fact-finding mission, ostensibly working for TASS. In 1961 Ria Novosti was created to supplement TASS, mainly in foreign reporting and human-interest stories. After 1971, TASS was elevated to the status of State Committee at the Government of the Soviet Union. Tass had affiliates in 14 Union republics (the Russian republic was covered by Tass itself): *RATAU ((ロシア語:РАТАУ), Ukrainian SSR), current Ukrinform *BelTA ((ロシア語:БелТА), Byelorussian SSR) *ETA ((ロシア語:ЭТА), Estonian SSR) *Latinform ((ロシア語:Латинформ), Latvian SSR), current LETA *ELTA ((ロシア語:ЭльТА), Lithuanian SSR) *ATEM ((ロシア語:АТЕМ), Moldavian SSR), current Moldpres *Armenpress ((ロシア語:Арменпрес), Armenian SSR) *Gruzinform ((ロシア語:Грузинформ), Georgian SSR) *Azerinform ((ロシア語:Азеринформ), Azerbaijan SSR), current AzerTAc *UzTAG ((ロシア語:УзТАГ), Uzbek SSR), current UzA *KazTAG ((ロシア語:КазТАГ), Kazakh SSR), current Kazinform *KyrTAG ((ロシア語:КирТАГ), Kyrgyz SSR), current Kabar *Turkmeninform ((ロシア語:Туркменинформ), Turkmen SSR), current TDH *TajikTA ((ロシア語:ТаджикТА), Tajik SSR), current Khovar Over the history other affiliates existed, e.g., KarelfinTAG (КарелфинТАГ), or Telegraph Agency of the Karelo-Finnish SSR. TASS had bureaus and reporters in 110 countries, with a daily output equal to 750 newspaper pages, translated into eight (non-Soviet) languages. It had nearly 5000 employees, with about a fifth being journalists. TASS had the following Main Editorial Boards: Main Editorial Board of Union Information, of Foreign Information, of Socialist Countries, of Information for Foreign Countries, of Photoinformation and Main Directorate of Communications. In 1992, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, it was inherited by the Information Telegraph Agency of Russia (ITAR-TASS). ==See also== *Eastern Bloc information dissemination 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
