Dear Simon,

If you are interested in samizdat and its history, I would recommend  
to read at least a few books and articles that I find very useful and  
informative. See my list below:

Leningradskii samizdat v kontekste nezavisimogo kul'turnogo dvizheniia

* Dolininin, V. and Ivanov, B., eds. Samizdat, St Petersburg:  
Nauchno-informativnyj tsentr "Memorial", 2003.

* Ol'ga Sedakova. "O pogibshem literaturnom pokolenii. Pamiati Leonida
