Editing TASS (section)

=== 1992: ITAR-TASS ===
In January 1992, following the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]], a [[Decree of the President of Russia|Presidential Decree]] signed by [[Boris Yeltsin]] re-defined the status of TASS and renamed it the ''Information Telegraph Agency of Russia''. In May 1994, the [[Government of Russia|Russian Government]] adopted a [[Order of the Government of Russia|resolution]] "''On approval of the Charter of the Information Telegraph Agency of Russia''", under which it operates as a central government news agency. The TASS acronym was, by this point, well-recognized around the world and so was retained after being redefined as the ''Telegraph agency of communication and messages'' ({{langx|ru|Телеграфное агентство связи и сообщения|Telegrafnoye agentstvo svazi i soobshcheniya}}). The agency as a whole was referred to as "ITAR-TASS".

In September 2014, the agency reverted to its former name as the ''Russian News Agency TASS''.{{Citation needed |date=September 2023}}
