About the Samizdat
The Samizdat {sahm'-eez-daht} is a Russian term meaning "self-publishing." In the Soviet Union prior to the liberalization of the late 1980s, samizdat denoted literature published and circulated in secrecy expressing views contrary to those of the state. The 1966 trial of Andrei Sinyavsky revealed the existence of a large body of samizdat in the USSR. Samizdat also exists in China and other countries that do not allow freedom of expression.Bibliography: Medvedev, Roy A., ed., Samizdat Register Two(1981).
