RealClear Samizdat Prize Gala Celebrates First Amendment Courage – and RCP’s 25th Anniversary By David DesRosiersJanuary 10, 2026 RealClear Samizdat Prize Gala Celebrates First Amendment Courage – and RCP’s 25th AnniversaryRealClearPolitics On February 11, 2026, at The Breakers in Palm Beach, Florida, RealClear will be celebrating its 25th anniversary year – just as America’s experiment in self-government prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday. Please join us that evening for our third annual Samizdat Prize Gala honoring profiles in free-speech courage.
It’s going to be a great night. We will not disappoint.
Please consider dressing up, overpaying for a ticket, and joining us. And if you cannot come, still consider supporting RealClear and helping us give the recognition due to our outstanding Samizdat Prize winners.
The Samizdat Prize is named after the underground publishing network in the former Soviet Union that carried the works of dissident truth tellers such as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Writers who communicated via samizdat risked prison, torture, and even death if they were caught. It is this spirit of courage that we celebrate.
RealClear does not have a rival in the media space. Our Samizdat winners are similarly unique. The principle of free speech captured in RealClear’s viewpoint diversity method, which RealClear has delivered day in and day out for the past 25 years, is the prescription to all that ails our nation. So, too, are our Samizdat Prize honorees. They are “here I stand and can do no other” examples of undeniable and needed courage.
