Abstract
After more than 30 years of suppression, emotions and facts about the events of October‐November 1956 have at last been allowed to emerge into the open, and the debates about the significance of the event are raging in post‐communist Hungary. Various organizations have been set up to commemorate the memory, and public discussions have‐been aired about whether any form of justice for the wrongs suffered can be expected. It is now possible to interpret the events as having passed through several distinct phases, and to evaluate how realistic the hopes and aspirations of that generation of Hungarians were. The international perspective can also now be examined in the course of Central and East European history under communist rule. The most significant effect may be that it won for Hungary the respect of the rest of the world.
