Victims of Communism Remembrance Day in Hungary: our country denied Communism multiple times
Change language:
Hungary today marks the suffering inflicted by communist rule. The Bolsheviks seized power here twice: first in 1919, when their grip lasted a mere 133 days. After the Second World War, however, Soviet forces occupied the country and lingered until 1991, imposing a second communist tyranny that endured from 1947 to 1990.
A nation that repeatedly rejected the red tide
Hungarians rebuffed communism time and again in the war’s aftermath. In 1945, amid elections that were comparatively free, voters handed a handsome majority to the democratic Smallholders’ Party. Yet Soviet overseers insisted on a coalition, propelling the communists—despite their paltry 17 per cent share—into the cabinet with key ministries and state secretary posts.
With Moscow’s backing, the Communist Party sabotaged the government and rammed through a snap election. Undeterred, Hungarians delivered another rebuff in 1947, granting democratic parties a fresh majority while the communists, even with rampant fraud, scraped just 22.25 per cent. Soviet might proved unstoppable.
The suffocating Rákosi regime provoked open revolt in October 1956, only for Soviet tanks to crush the uprising—prompting the exodus of hundreds of thousands.
The first free and democratic parliamentary elections were held in Hungary only in April 1990. Meanwhile, the last Soviet soldier left our country only in June 1991.
Historians reckon the global communist death toll exceeds 100 million souls.
Orbán cabinet talks about Ukraine war even on the Victims of Communism Remembrance Day
History is a mirror of our future, and its mistakes must not be repeated; the lesson of history is that Hungary must stay out of war, an official of the Ministry of the Interior said on Tuesday in Budapest at a commemoration held on the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Communism, on the fourth anniversary of the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
““A century later, it is our duty to ensure that Hungary does not participate in any war,” a little fake if USA “invites” you to participate in a war in the name of “Freedom”

This is not just about victims of communism. This is about victims of RUSSIAN OCCUPATION. Fidesz tries to whitewash history to make Hungarians forget what Russia did to Hungary. The memorial to 1956 was removed from the front of Parliament. Nagy Imre was removed from the area of Parliament. They don’t want you to associate Russian oppression with the misery Hungary went through because Fidesz seeks to put Hungary back into Russian control. Hungarians you should learn Russian if Fidesz wins the election.
LARRY – Germany is no longer controlled by the Nazis- the same way Russia is no longer controlled by communism –
I suggest you take little trip to the two largest cities in Europe and see for yourself – don’t take my word for it. Maybe you can explain why the people of Russia are friendlier than much of Europe.
TM – Russia is now (and has been for a long time) controlled by a murderous dictator – same way Germany was controlled by nazis and their murderous leader.
I suggest you take a little trip to Russia and enlist into Russian army to see how “friendly” they are.
