Russia has long been a hotbed for world news and Newscom’s partner TASS has been there to cover it all for over a century. That long history and expertise makes TASS one of the best sources for everything from politics, business, sports, and breaking news coming out of Russia, which has been in abundance lately.
Since the fall of the Soviet Union TASS had been known as, ITAR-TASS. In September they changed back to just TASS, the name they become famous for during their days of providing news to and from the Soviet Union.
What hasn’t changed are TASS’s spectacular images. Covering the entire spectrum of Russian news on a daily basis the latest images can be found on the full TASS collection on Newscom. Below is a small sample of 10 images that TASS has to offer. If you want to see more photos from TASS be sure to check out the full lightbox on Newscom or search the full collection of TASS images when looking for anything Russia.
