Step back in time to 1956, a pivotal year when Soviet tanks rumbled into Budapest, determined to quell the Hungarian revolution. This historic event, occurring just months after a communist uprising in Poland, served as a formidable test for the Soviets, who were still navigating the post-Stalin era.

But the roots of this revolution stretch back decades, reaching as far as World War I and beyond. It introduced the world to compelling figures such as Imre Nagy and Janos Kadar while leaving a tragic imprint on the way subsequent protests in countries like Czechoslovakia in 1968 and Romania in 1989 would be handled by communist authorities. These echoes still resonate today.

Join us in this illuminating episode as we delve deep into the origins of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, exploring the heroic figures, the antagonists, and the forces that shaped this pivotal moment in history. Gain a profound understanding of the revolution's impact and its enduring significance in the context of modern times.

1956-ban szovjet tankok gördültek be Budapestre a magyar forradalom leverésére. Alig néhány hónappal a kommunista lengyelországi felkelés után ez súlyos próbatétel volt a szovjetek számára, akik még mindig alkalmazkodtak a Sztálin utáni élethez. A forradalom gyökerei az évtizedekkel korábbi eseményekben
gyökereznek, egészen az első világháborúig és azon túl.
Olyan figurákat mutatott be a világgal, mint Nagy Imre és
Kádár János. Tragikusan megadta az alaphangot annak is,
hogy a későbbi 1968-as csehszlovákiai és 1989-es romániai
tüntetéseket a kommunista hatóságok hogyan kezeljék,
és ma is visszhangja van. Ebben az epizódban az 1956-os magyar forradalom gyökereit, hőseit, gonosztevőit és jótevőit vizsgálom.
