Samizdat is an underground satirical publication published in the 2020s that reports on local and world affairs. Its newspapers appear as readables in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Samizdat aims to uncover real facts, and positions itself as a well-informed counterpoint to the "stream of misinformation and untruths" spread by the Picus media, such as Picus TV and The Picus Daily Standard. As such, Samizdat is somewhat similar to the pirate radio host and conspiracy theorist Lazarus.
