Arthur Koestler (1905-1983) was a Hungarian-British author and journalist, who was engaged with Communism and worked as an agent of the Comintern until his disillusionment with Stalinism.
Samizdat editions, mostly political pamphlets, appeared in Hungary in the 1970s in the poor form of carbon copies of typescripts. Later in the 80s the so-called Democratic Opposition in Hungary established semi-underground publishings, like "AB Független" to publish not merely political literature but also literature that was banned by the Communist politics.
