- krick 6y agoI wouldn't know, but there is no reason for me to be thinking something like that. "Samizdat" is not really a name or something, it's a transliteration of "самиздат", which is a short/colloquial for "самостоятельное издательство", which literally means "self-publishing" (this was a thing during the USSR, where "self-publishing" was basically opposed to "real, official government-approved publishing"). I believe it's just a "clever" domain somebody was able to acquire, nothing more.
- owenshen24 6y agoAh, thanks for the explanation.
