Editing Samizdat (section)

==Name origin and variations==
Etymologically, the word ''samizdat'' derives from ''sam'' ({{lang|ru|сам}} 'self, by oneself') and ''izdat'' ({{lang|ru|издат}}, an abbreviation of {{lang|ru|издательство}}, {{lang|ru-Latn|izdatel′stvo}} 'publishing house'), and thus means 'self-published'. [[Ukrainian language|Ukrainian]] has a similar term: ''samvydav'' (самвидав), from ''sam'' 'self' and ''vydavnytstvo'' 'publishing house'.{{sfn|Balan|1993}}

The Russian poet [[Nikolay Glazkov]] coined a version of the term as a [[pun]] in the 1940s when he typed copies of his poems and included the note ''Samsebyaizdat'' (Самсебяиздат, "Myself by Myself Publishers") on the front page.{{sfn|Komaromi|2004|p=598}}

''Tamizdat'' refers to literature published abroad (там, ''tam'' 'there'), often from smuggled manuscripts.{{sfn|Kind-Kovács|Labov|2013|p=19 fn. 1}}

The Polish term for this phenomenon coined around 1980 was ''drugi obieg'', or the "second circuit" of publishing.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://encyklopedia.pwn.pl/haslo/drugi-obieg-wydawniczy;3894406.html|title=drugi obieg wydawniczy, Encyklopedia PWN: źródło wiarygodnej i rzetelnej wiedzy|website=encyklopedia.pwn.pl}}</ref>
