First spontaneous public protests in Soviet history; supported freedom of information
The glasnost meeting (Russian: Ми́тинг гла́сности, romanized: Míting glásnosti, lit. 'meeting of openness'), also known as the glasnost rally, was the first spontaneous public political demonstration in the Soviet Union after the Second World War. It took place in Moscow on 5 December 1965 as a response to the trial of writers Andrei Sinyavsky and Yuli Daniel. The demonstration is considered to mark the beginning of a movement for civil rights in the Soviet Union.[1]: 269 [2]: 632
