		The spectacular return to the barricades of the early days of the Hungarian Revolution tended to obscure what was unquestionably its most important achievement – the spontaneous formation of workers’ and peasants’ councils, probably the first organisations in the history of Hungary to truly represent the interests and aspirations of the working–class.
		Highly significant, too, is the fact that the early divisions sent by the Kremlin to crush the Hungarian Revolution had to be withdrawn, because of disaffection and mass desertions, to be replaced by Mongol detachments from faraway Asia.
		In East Germany, the Hungarian Revolution stirred the workers, already seething on their own account, and strikes, minor riots and demonstrations of workers and students were from time to time reported.

		The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 lasted only seven days, but its legacy lives on today as a testament to the power of political activism, economics, and the importance of ideas.
		In contrast to the standard analysis of the Hungarian Revolution as a battle of opposing ideas, I believe it was first and foremost a battle stemming from economic factors and that this was buttressed by ideological beliefs.
		A strong theme of the Revolution was not only the desire for a better form of Communism, but also a distinct feeling of bitterness toward the Communists for not achieving the economic ends they had promised.

		Karolyi was the man of the Hungarian insurrection; Bela Kun was the man of the proletarian revolution; Horthy is the man of the bourgeois reaction, of the white terror and brutal and truculent repression of the proletariat.
		Aside from the tiredness, the fatigue, the discontent with the war, the Hungarian Revolution was prepared by the longings for national independence, suddenly awakened, excited, and stimulated by the Wilsonian propaganda.
		In Hungary, by contrast, the dictatorship of the proletariat was exercised by communists and social-democrats jointly.

	Remembering the 1956 Hungarian Revolution - The Boston Globe
		Yesterday, more than 300 Hungarians and their supporters -- including roughly 100 who took part in the rebellion -- gathered in Faneuil Hall to mark the 50th anniversary of the first large-scale uprising against the Soviet empire.
		The revolution was remarkable both for the speed with which it spread and the degree of public support, growing from a peaceful anti-Communist protest by 20,000 people on Oct. 23, 1956 to nationwide rebellion in a matter of days.
		At yesterday's event, proud Hungarians argued that their doomed fight set in motion the long chain of events that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the ultimate collapse of Communism.

		The ceremonial reburial of Imre Nagy on 16 June 1989 represented a reversal of the previously dominant official version according to which the events of 1956 constituted a ‘counter-revolution’, and was followed within weeks by the death of Imre Nagy’s usurper and executioner, János Kádár, who had ruled Hungary from November 1956 to May 1988.

		This collection of documents on the 1956 Hungarian Revolution - perhaps the last in Europe that can be called truly "spontaneous" - is well worth its hefty price and reflects the painstaking efforts of an international team of prominent researchers.
		Scholars of the Hungarian Revolution will notice that many of the key documents (Russian and Hungarian) included in the volume that shed direct light on the decision-making process were previously translated into English in the mid-1990s in the Woodrow Wilson Center's International Cold War History Bulletin [3].
		Had the Hungarians not fought the Soviet army courageously in 1956, the West might still have regarded Hungary primarily as Germany's ally in both world wars and as an oppressor of minorities when part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

		The 1956 revolution was one of several that arose from the extremes of oppression in Central and Eastern Europe in the late 1940s and 50s.
		Any Hungarian who wants to honour the memory of the dead of 1956 should ignore the hypocrisy of those official celebrations and should instead look into the type of society the working class heroes of ‘56 tried to set up and fight for the same.
		Many Hungarians today look on the demonstrators in front of Parliament and the TV building as a rabble, partly because there is a hooligan element and an extreme right wing involvement.

		There is the immediate and heart-breaking tragedy of a people's revolution - a mass uprising against tyranny and poverty that had become insupportable - being crushed by the army of the world's first Socialist State.
		I saw for myself that the uprising was neither organised nor controlled by fascists or reactionaries, though reactionaries were undeniably trying to gain control of it.
		It, too, can be read in the lines of suffering long-endured on the faces of Hungarian citizens, in the forlorn gaze of the children who press their noses against the windows of Western cars and beg for chocolate, in the tears of men and women who have been promised much and given little.
