This year, TASS support is reaching a new level. An agreement was reached, according to which TASS received the status of The General Media Partner of the Tsiolkovsky International Film Festival.
From February 2022, the main announcements, news and press releases of the festival will be published on the agency's information resources - news feeds and the website www.tass.ru.
A press conference preceding the festival grand opening will be held at the TASS press center.
Attracting such a significant media partner, whose goal is to help the widest possible range of people in Russia and abroad receive timely and reliable information about the most important events in the country and the world, will allow us to tell more potential visitors and participants about the festival.
It’s worth mentioning that TASS was a direct participant in the historical events of April 1961, and ushered in the era of space journalism. On April 12, 1961, at 10:02, the agency released a message about the world's first human flight into outer space and a photo of the first cosmonaut of the Earth, Yuri Gagarin. Over the past decades, the agency has released thousands of news and photo reports, prepared numerous exhibition and publishing projects dedicated to the development of Russian cosmonautics.
