Thank you for this. I have long admired the courage and perspicacity of the samizdat movement behind the Iron Curtain and these additional details help to underscore the courage and vision of such efforts in the former state of Czechoslovakia.
One cannot but help think of what a digital samizdat movement might look like and how it might operate as America teeters on the lip of full-on autocracy. Yet other repressed voices already have long wrestled with the question of how to keep a resistance and a culture alive such as Iranian filmmakers and beyond. Much appreciated finding this from your link on BlueSky. Please write on.
