    A CHRONICLE OF C NT EVENTS Nr 54 Journal of the Human Rights Movement in the USSR "Or Amnesty International Publications AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL is a worldwide movement which is independent of any government, political faction, ideology, economic interest or religious creed. It plays a specific role within the overall spectrum of human rights work. The activities of the organization focus strictly on prisoners: It seeks the release of men and women detained anywhere for their beliefs, colour, sex, ethnic origin, language or religion, provided they have neither used nor advocated violence. These are termed 'prisoners of conscience'. It advocates fair and early trials for all political prisoners and works on behalf of such persons detained without charge or without trial. It opposes the death penalty and torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment of all prisoners without reservation. AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL acts on the basis of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international instruments. Through practical work for prisoners within its mandate, Amnesty International participates in the wider promotion and protection of human rights in the civil, political, economic, social and cultural spheres. AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL has 2,000 adoption groups and national sections in 35 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America and Latin America and individual members in a further 74 countries. Each adoption group works for at least two prisoners of conscience in countries other than its own. These countries are balanced geographically and politically to ensure impartiality. Information about prisoners and human rights violations emanates from Amnesty International's Research Department in London.

    DOI https://doi.org/10.30525/978-9934-588-57-0/98-116 DISSIDENT COMMUNICATIONS: NON-PERIODIC UKRAINIAN SAMIZDAT (1960–1987) Spanatiy O. S. INTRODUCTION From the time of the appearance of Ukrainian samizdat (self-printed or self-published texts) and until 1987, many different works and documents were prepared and distributed (we recorded 618 titles) they were distributed in Ukraine and abroad, some documents reached numerous circulations. This significant amount of printed information is not streamlined and systematized, because so far the researchers have not considered the documents of the Ukrainian samizdat as a separate type of unofficial publishing products. O. Obertas in his monograph “Ukrainian samizdat: literary criticism and journalism (1960s – early 1970s)” systematizes the documents of Ukrainian samizdat by subject. He singles out documents aimed at protecting the Ukrainian language and culture, the struggle for civil liberties and rights, documents devoted to the national question and national policy of the USSR, information and protest documents, and “professional” literary-critical documents1. In the first issue of “Ukrainian Herald”, V. Chornovil systematized self- published texts on a chronological and thematic basis and singled out literary documents (until 1963), anonymous articles on social and national problems (1963–1965), articles with author’s signatures, in which the problems of public life were analyzed from the Marxist-Leninist platform2. G. Kasyanov took the same periodization as a basis in his research3. Given these facts, we set the goal to examine the documents of Ukrainian samizdat using the typological method from the perspective of publishing, to highlight the characteristics and to classify the documents of Ukrainian samizdat based on them.
