A Chronicle of Current Events (Russian: Хро́ника теку́щих собы́тий, Khronika tekushchikh sobytiy) was one of the longest-running samizdat periodicals of the post-Stalin USSR. This unofficial newsletter reported violations of civil rights and judicial procedure by the Soviet government and responses to those violations by citizens across the Soviet Union. Appearing first in April 1968, it soon became the main voice of the Soviet human rights movement, inside the country and abroad.
