  Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union at the USSR Cabinet of Ministers or TASS (Russian: Телеграфное агенство Советского Союза при кабинете министров СССР, ТАСС) was the central agency for collection and distribution of internal and international news for all Soviet newspapers, radio and television stations.
It was established on 25 July 1925 by decree of the USSR Central Executive Committee Presidium.
TASS was created from the Russian Telegraph Agency (ROSTA), the first state news agency in Soviet Russia.

TASS announced late today that 70-year-old Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev has been replaced as First Secretary of the CPSU and as Chairman of the USSR Council of Ministers on grounds of age and health.
He read a statement that was virtually identical with the TASS statement announcing the new appointments and the resignation of Khrushchev.
Khrushchev's downfall, in our view, was the product of an accumulation of what might be termed personal-political resentments and dissatisfaction with his leadership, combined with a climatic showdown on basic issues of economic planning, management and personnel having a direct bearing on the long-term structure and direction of the Soviet economy and military posture.

That being the case, and given the extent of the latent power that the military-strategic weight of the USSR still confers, it is likely that his vision of the role of the USSR as a major factor in international relations will retain its influence.

Because TASS operated an extensive number of news agencies around the world, in the late 1980s its 2.5 million lines reached more than 20,000 subscribers daily.
Consequently, TASS officials, who were located in every republic's capital and in nearly all provincial cities, serviced many newspapers, some of which allotted nearly 50 percent of their news space to TASS-relayed information.
Together, TASS and Novosti served as the primary means for distributing Soviet viewpoints around the world.

The very idea of the head of the USSR meeting and shaking the blood-stained hand of this fascist puppet of U.S. imperialism, who is universally hated by the Korean people, north and south, is enough to turn the stomach of anyone with any sympathy for the Korean struggle.
This analyst ought to know from the free education he got in the USSR that these ideological blinders were what saved the Bolshevik Revolution when a 14-power coalition of imperialist powers invaded in 1918.
The crux of the policy is based on illusion, that the motive force of monopoly capitalism and its military machine has undergone a radical revolution of self-reform, from warmaker to peacemaker.

The TASS message came almost a month after the testing of the first Soviet nuclear device, and two days after President Truman had expressed concern over that testing.
TASS said its statement was meant to calm down "the widespread public anxiety"- anxiety caused by news about an immense construction campaign in the Soviet Union requiring the use of novel techniques of explosion.
In a matter-of-fact fashion, TASS also reminded readers that there had long been no "secret" of the atomic bomb, referring to the USSR Foreign Minister Molotov's statement of November 6, 1947.

It was impossible in the early period of the USSR for the Soviet Union to answer each and every slander that appeared in the capitalist press.
The danger, if these joint ventures are consummated, has to be seen in light of the new powers that have been granted to the directors and managers of the industrial enterprises, who have been given wide latitude in relation to the accumulation and division of profits.
But this should in no way be utilized to disqualify the USSR as a workers' state or negate its possibilities to recover from the social and political bourgeois deformations imposed on the USSR by the Gorbachev administration and the leaderships which succeeded the Leninist government.

He was able to develop one very useful political source (called Socrates) who was a well-connected member of the Carter administration and who was sympathetic to the USSR.
Although this should have been a major boost to his career, it served only to exacerbate the conflicts he had with the KGB apparatchiks and he resigned from the KGB in 1990.

The combination of a backward-arrow wing and thrust- vectoring may give the aircraft unique flying characteristics and make it superior to the most sophisticated Western fighters now under development.
The USSR developed the backward-arrow wing concept and its first applications to fighters in early 1980s, a leading researcher at Zhukovsky's Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) told Itar-Tass.
He said backward-arrow wings would better the aircraft's aerodynamic characteristics at subsonic speed and improve handling at dangerous angles.
