| | The prime minister then was Gyula Horn, who as a 24-year-old vigorously opposed the revolution, blaming it for the death of his elder brother. | | | Just as Imre Nagy while prime minister in 1953 proposed a tribute to Stalin (the patron of his archrival Rakosi), so Horn joined Nagy's daughter in a ceremony at Plot 301 to mark the anniversary of the revolution (xxiv). | | | 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). |

| | 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& usurper and executioner, János Kádár, who had ruled Hungary from November 1956 to May 1988. | | | according to which the revolution became a counter-revolution, its heroes traitors, while the secret police and party apparatchiks who treacherously turned their fire on the patriotic demonstrators were immortalised as heroes. | | | 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. |

| | Notes of Kremlin and White House discussions indicate the possible impact of the late October 1956 attack on Suez on the Soviet decision to intervene with overwhelming force in Hungary in early November. | | | Hungarian and Soviet documents provide a more complex portrait of reform Communist Prime Minister Imre Nagy, whom the U.S. saw as a Soviet disciple but who went further than any other leader in the socialist camp other than Tito in asserting independence from the USSR. | | | Notes of Kremlin and Warsaw Pact meetings as well as internal Hungarian records add important insights into his attempts both to assert freedom of action vis-à-vis Moscow and to crack down brutally on internal dissent, especially against Nagy and his circle. |
