| | 1956 Hungarian Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | By 1963 most political prisoners from the Hungarian revolution of 1956 had been released by János Kádár. | | | The historical and political significance of the Hungarian revolution of 1956 is still actively debated. | | | The 1956 Hungarian Revolution, also known as the Hungarian Uprising or simply the Hungarian Revolt, was a revolt in Hungary. |

| | This article will therefore also consider post-communist public monuments dedicated to the heroes of the 1956 uprising and to the memory of the victims of the repression that followed its defeat. | | | 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. | | | The collapse of communism in Hungary in 1989 and the establishment of a democratic political system have been amply reflected in the field of public monuments, with particular reference to 1956. |

| | But the flame of freedom kindled by the Hungarian working class during OctoberNovember 1956 is still alive, showing the way forward to workers, not in the Communist dictatorships alone, but throughout the world. | | | Between December 1956 and the summer of 1961, 350-400 death sentences were commuted in Hungary; 280-300 of those sentenced were executed because of their involvement in the revolution. | | | 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 workingclass. |

| | Also ironic is the way in which right-wing political parties in Hungary today "try to make 1956 theirs and theirs alone," as Gati points out in his essay (xvi). | | | 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. | | | 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. |

| | The Hungarian Workers' Councils of 1956 were in effect soviets and Lenin's four points about the election of all officials, a rotation of duties, all officials subject to recall and an armed people, while not expressed exactly in those terms, were established in practice. | | | The example of the Hungarian workers bravery, initiative and ability to rise to the task set by history is all the more amazing as the broad mass movement during the revolution produced leaders, programmes and a fighting force that rose spontaneously, without a revolutionary party and their struggle was fought out to the end. | | | As far as the capitalist commentators were concerned this was simply a move to shake off Russian repression and a communist dictatorship, while the Stalinists called it a fascist counter-revolution aided and abetted by the CIA in order to defeat "socialism". |

| | Hungary 1956 and the Political Revolution |
| | The revolution of 1956 was a revolution to rid society of this gang of parasites, torturers and murderers, who claimed to rule in the name of the working class, and to reassert the traditions of 1919 of the involvement of the working class in the revolution and the subsequent running of society. | | | In the Hungarian revolution of 1919 the workers moved to overthrow the fragile regime of the bourgeois liberal Karolyi because it could not satisfy their revolutionary demands. | | | Anyone who says that the forces of the political revolution are powerless against the arms of the state apparatus should look at the reports of Police Chief Kopasci as he describes his conversations over the radio with the different police units in the capital. |

| | Contrary to what the international Stalinist movement has said about the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, the Hungarian workers never called for the return of the capitalists and of capitalist property relations. | | | In October and November 1956, the Hungarian working class launched a general revolutionary uprising against the rule of the Stalinist bureaucracy headed by Matyas Rakosi and Erno Gero. | | | Soon the Hungarian army went over the revolutionists and the Soviet troops began manifesting sympathy with their cause. |
