Phoenix (literary magazine)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Phoenix was a samizdat literary magazine published by Yuri Galanskov[1] in 1960 and 1966. The magazine was founded by Galanskov and Alexander Ginzburg.[2] Only two issues were ever produced (Phoenix in 1960 and Phoenix-66 in 1966). The magazine died after the arrest of Galanskov and subsequent Trial of the Four.

Repression[edit]

The editors of Phoenix 66 were arrested on January 17 and 19, 1967.[3] In 1967-1968, Galanskov, Ginzburg, Alexey Dobrovolsky, and Vera Lashkova were put on trial for editing and distributing (and printing in the case of Lashkova) Phoenix-66, as well as the White Book, a document on the case of Sinyavsky and Daniel.[4] During the so-called "Trial of Four", Ginzburg was sentenced to 5 years in prison, and Galanskov to 7[5] (Galanskov later died in custody).
