Also known as samzdat, samvydav

Samizdat (, , ), also Samvydav () was a form of dissident activity across the Eastern Bloc in which individuals reproduced censored and underground makeshift publications, often by hand, and passed the documents from reader to reader. The practice of manual reproduction was widespread, because printed texts could be traced back to the source. This was a grassroots practice used to evade official Soviet censorship.

Samizdat (russo: самиздат, em polonês/polaco: bibuła, em búlgaro: самиздат, ucraniano: самвидав) era uma prática nos tempos da União Soviética destinada a evitar a censura imposta pelos governos dos partidos comunistas nos países do Bloco oriental. Mediante essa prática, indivíduos e grupos de pessoas copiavam (muitas vezes à mão) e distribuíam clandestinamente livros e outros bens culturais que haviam sido proibidos pelo governo.
