Samizdat refers to literature that was secretly written, copied, and circulated in the Soviet Union, usually critical of the Soviet government. Samizdat first began appearing after the death of Stalin in 1953, largely in protest against restrictions on the freedom of expression imposed on major Soviet authors. In the 60's, samizdat publications expanded their focus to include critiques of official Soviet policies and ideologies, including laws, economic policies, and treatment of religious and ethnic minorities. Due to the government's strict monopoly on presses and duplication devides, many samizdat publications took the form of carbon copies of handwritten sheets, which were then passed directly from reader to reader. This publication was semi-legally printed by the Jazz Section, an organization of jazz musicians that legally organized within the Czech Musicians' Union and thereby was allowed to publish bulletins for private use by its members.
