Samizdat ZrNO [Seed] tried to meet the needs and aspirations of young Catholics seeking spiritual values as well as their place in society. It tried to capture the spirit of the times and respond to the current issues of the young wo/men. It therefore provided an opportunity to express opinions, ideas and attitudes of young people. Each issue included: answers to the problems of youth, profiles of well-known Slovak personae, historical articles, specific problems of time and poetry. Samizdat ZrNO was unique because of its graphically varied covers. It reached only small circle of people, but for the Catholic church it had great symbolic value. ZrNO was a samizdat focused on teenagers and young people.
First issue focused on informing young Catholics about christianity worldwide (e.g. transcript of Pope John Paul´s II. address to the youth). Every article focuses on different christian virtues - power of silence, especially for youngsters surrounded by loud and vivid 80s music, or strong faith as protection against satanism. A long article about heavy-metal, satanism and religious symbols deals with fascination with antireligious behaviour. Author is trying to explain base of this actions and how to help "affected individuals". In the end of the issue few pages are provided young beginning poets.
