| Abstract [eng] |
The article analyzes relationship of Lithuanian dissidents with dissidents in Russia, through which in the soviet period uncensored information was conveyed to the West. The very first relations were attained in the end of the 50 s. However, at this time there were no attempts to convey uncensored information to the West through this channel. The relations developed with the formation of the dissident movements. Thus, the situation changed in the beginning of the 70 s, and samizdat played a very important role in this process. Dissidents in Russia became the main channel to distribute uncensored information about the situation in Lithuania to the West. The exchange of information, as well as the distribution of samizdat production, were a spontaneous and unorganized phenomenon. |
