Russian samizdat and photo negatives of unofficial literature in the USSR.jpg

Samizdat (Russian: самиздат, pronounced [səmɨzˈdat], lit.'self-publishing') 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.
