Russian govt changes digital ministry’s short name officially

MOSCOW, Sep 11 (PRIME) -- The Russian government has changed a short name of the Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media Ministry of Minkomsvyaz, inherited from the authority’s former title of the Telecom and Mass Communications Ministry, into Mintsifra, the government said on Friday in a statement.

The relevant ruling was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

The ministry’s full title was renamed in May 2018, but it had kept the old short name since then.
