 If that country was a signatory of the UCC or the Berne Convention, the work was also granted copyright in all other signatories of these treaties, because they both extended copyright to works of citizens of non-member states, if these works were first published in a member state.A very famous case of a "tamizdat" publication was Boris Pasternak's novel "Doctor Zhivago", which, after it had been refused by Soviet publishers, was first published in an Italian translation in Italy in 1957.Because Italy was a member of both the UCC and the Berne Convention, the work was entitled to full copyright in all other member states of these two conventions.
