Janos Kadar, Dictator of the Month October, 2001 |
 | | In 1951, Kadar was accused of treason by Matyas Rakosi for being sympathetic to Tito and jailed until 1953. |
 | | Kadar now felt that the Nagy reforms were going to far and began to develop an intense dislike for him; and the lack of unity on policy within the leadership of Hungary led to a schism of the revolt’s central control. |
 | | Kadar remained in power until 1988, when he was forced to step down due to his then-failing health and the coincident collapse of the Warsaw Pact alliance; he was then relegated to symbolic political appointments until 1989, when he was unable to perform even ceremonial state functions due to advanced senility. |
