The year was 1989 and Orban, the last speaker to address the crowd, calmly waited his turn as his predecessors — all graying dissidents still wary of the crippled communist regime — spoke vaguely of past accomplishments and the need for democratization.
Thanks in part to Orban's stewardship, a country that was known mainly for its crumbling infrastructure and crippling foreign debt has emerged as a model of political stability, an economic success story, a member of nato and a frontrunner to join the European Union.
In addition to meeting his declared goal of getting Hungary ready for the E.U. by 2002, Orban must also bridge the gulf between the relatively prosperous west of the country and the impoverished east, where unemployment is more than double the national average.

 ANDREW L. SIMON: JOHN HUNYADI - HUNGARY IN AMERICAN HISTORY TEXTBOOKS
Hungary was ill prepared for the attack: its nobles had curtailed the royal military power, magnates and gentry were in constant strife, and the oppressed peasantry was not entrusted with arms.
In Hungary the Magyar majority under Kossuth rapidly alienated the various minorities under its control by proclaiming what amounted to racial hegemony: it abolished local assemblies in non-Magyar provinces and prescribed that Hungarian be the exclusive language of all higher education as well as of the Diet.
Hungary would continue in the future to be, as it had been in the past, a particularly troublesome area of the Habsburg empire.

The chapters trace political consequences of economic reform that range from the decline of the central state's fiscal dominance to the revitalization of long-suppressed ethnic loyalties.
Revised papers from a 1992 conference describe the quiet revolution from within the communist parties of China and Hungary in the wake of economic reform, looking at departures from the planned economy and concessions to the private sector from sociological, political science, and anthropological perspectives.
