Abstract
The Hungarian Revolution in 1956 caused the process of normalization of Soviet–Yugoslav relations to reach deadlock. This article, based on the documents from the Russian party and diplomatic archives, analyzes the causes of this impasse and reveals the early stages of the new round of Soviet–Yugoslav polemics which arose primarily because the Yugoslav Government provided refuge for Imre Nagy and his political supporters in its embassy in Budapest after the Soviet suppression of the Revolution. It reconstructs the circumstances of their extradition and removal to Romania, and the consequent deportation to Hungary for trial in 1957. The article also explores the role of the Romanian leadership in the neutralization of Nagy's team and the consolidation of the regime of Janos Kadar.
