Thesis about the samizdat

Text dotazu

Hello,
I am looking for some samizdat articles written or translated in English or (better) in French. I would like to focus my thesis on the rise of the Velvet Revolution, so from 1986 to 1990.
The best should be some online documents but I would also be ok to borrow some.
Thanks in advance,
