Kun was born Bela Kohn in Cehu Silvaniei (Szilagyceh) a village in Transylvania.
Though Kun was indifferent, if not hostile to all forms of religion, his original Jewish surname was to be the cause of much anti-semitic prejudice against him later in his career.
When Kun was in Moscow, he spent much of his time feuding with other Hungarian Communist émigrés, several of whom he denounced to the Soviet secret police, the OGPU in the late 1920s and early 1930s.

 First World War.com - Who's Who - Bela Kun
Bela Kun (1886-1936), the Hungarian revolutionary, was responsible for founding the world's second communist government with the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian empire at the close of the World War One.
The founder of the Hungarian Communist Party, Kun served in the Austro-Hungarian army with the declaration of war in August 1914, until he was taken prisoner by the Russians in 1916.
Opposition continued to grow however and, on 1 August 1919, Kun's government fell in the face of invasions from both the Czechs and Romanians, not to mention the French-sponsored counter-revolutionary force led by Admiral Miklos Horthy de Nagybanya (which succeeded in establishing Horthy in government for many years).

 Belá Kun
Belá Kun was born to a Jewish family in 1886 at Szilagycseh in Transylvania.   He was entered in the Klausenburg University but soon entered politics instead.  He joined the Social Democrats and became treasurer to the local chapter.  In 1914, he worked for the Laborer's Insurance Company in Klausenburg (Kolozsvár, Cluj).
Kun has been described as being highly energetic and completely dedicated to whatever he put his mind to.  However, he was known to be totally pliable and unimaginative.
In late 1920, Kun was dispatched to the Crimea, recently evacuated by General Wrangel, and led a red terror against the population.

 Document 64
He could not forgive Bela Kun for turning his back on him during the intra-party debates in 1929 when Szanto occupied a right-opportunist position (Szanto’s point of view was opportunely characterized as right-opportunist in an open letter from the ECCI to CPH).
I think that Szanto’s opposition to Bela Kun started because he thought that Kun had betrayed him and his supporters, left him out, removed him from the CP of Hungary, etc. Kun was, indeed, “ungrateful” to his supporters when it was in his personal interests.
This reference for Bela Szanto was written by I. Revai in Moscow in German for the Cadres Department of the ECCI in connection of Dimitrov’s inquiry regarding Szanto’s arrest.

Kun's essay was on the poet Sandor Petőfi and his concluding paragraphs were "The storming rage of Petőfi's soul...turned against the privileged classes, against the people's oppressor...and confronted them with revolutionary abandon.
Kun forgave his enemies in the manner of Christ (everything that is known about Kun's character suggests that this was merely a ploy for public support).
Instead, Kun declared that all land was to be converted into collective farms and, due to a lack of anyone qualified to run them, he kept on the former estate owners, managers and bailiffs as the new collective farm managers.

In a radio dispatch to the Russian SFSR, Kun informed Lenin that a "dictatorship of the proletariat" had been established in Hungary and asked for a treaty of alliance with the Russian SFSR, to defend against the inevitable hostile reaction from the Entente.
The Entente were eventually successful, and Béla Kun fled to Austria on August 1 together with other high-ranking Communists with only a minority remaining in Budapest, including György Lukács, the former Commissar for Culture and noted Marxist philosopher, to organise an underground Communist Party.

Bela Szanto committed mistakes in the CP of Hungary and was criticized for it.
In studying the history of the Hungarian workers’ movement and the history of the CP of Hungary, Bela Szanto came to the conclusion that the party’s policy under Bela Kun’s leadership, before and after the proletarian dictatorship in Hungary, was incorrect and unBolshevik.
Zoltan Szanto (Bela Szanto’s brother) wrote this note in German on 15 November 1939 in response to the ECCI’s Organizational Committee’s inquiry regarding Bela Szanto’s arrest and his wife’s petition, an inquiry begun at Dimitrov’s request.

Kun Béla and the Communist commissars defended Hungary while the nobles and the Hungarian bourgeoisie saw the Communists as the greater evil, welcoming the invaders, who were anti-Communists, bourgeois and monarchists, to "liberate" the country from Communism.
However, Kun became the actual leader of the Communist government that was taking over at the Social Democrats' expense, who joined the Communists in the Revolutionary Governing Council in a political alliance.
Granted that Kun’s regime was characterized by the Red Terror and by the instability caused by their arbitrary imposition of their alien dictatorship of the proletariat.

First Published: Published according to the gramophone records; Organization of these speeches was accomplished by Tsentropechat the cental agency of the All-Russia Cnetral Executive Committee for the Supply and Distribution of Periodicals between 1919 and 1921.
The first communication we received about it gave us some grounds for fearing that, perhaps, the so-called socialists, traitor-socialists, had resorted to some deception, had got round the Communists, the more so that the latter were in prison.
And it was only these Left Socialists, who sympathised with the Communists, and also people from the Centre who formed the new government, while the Right Socialists, the traitorsocialists, the irreconcilables and incorrigibles, so to speak, left the Party, and not a single worker followed them.

     Kun was People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs during the short-lived Republic of Councils (a/k/a Hungarian Soviet Republic) in the spring and summer of 1919.
In fact, the Republic was dominated by left socialists who had sprung Kun and colleagues from prison to form a socialist-communist coalition.
Even if Kun and company had not committed serious blunders, and had prevented the sporadic quasi-official terror on their extreme left, the Republic probably would not have withstood the joint French-Czech-Romanian invasion that installed the "White" dictatorship of Admiral Horthy.

Graven and seered upon Hungarian souls are bitter memories of the "Red Terror" to which all Hungary was subjected for 143 days, in 1919, during the Communist regime of the notorious, fat, spiderlike Bela Kun.
With these facts in mind one may visualize the furore which stirred Budapest, last week, when it became known that Bela Kun had been found lurking in Vienna, only 140 miles distant, and arrested by the Austrian police.
When arrested Propagandist Kun was found to have put on weight and grown a mustache; but he was dressed characteristically in the height of fashion and reeked of his favorite perfume, wood violet.
