4 minute video: Hungarian Revolution crushed by Soviets - 1956

“This historic footage shows the tremendous damage caused by the Soviet Army when it crushed the anti-communist revolution in Budapest. Hungary wouldn’t be free of Communism for another 33 years.”

There were reform Communists who wanted to keep Hungary neutral.

Soviets weren’t prepared to accept an Austrian solution.

The Hungarians put liquid soap on the streets and the tanks skidded around but it did them no good in the end. I watched a movie, supposed to be based on a true story, of the Russians shooting the father in front of his wife and children in a restaurant. The Russians could be and still are capable of being extremely brutal.

Some boys came here and went to Catholic schools. My mom told me they didn't behave very well and lit their cigarettes and smoked in school. lol.

I'll take a look at your video. Saw some beautiful pictures of Christmas in Budapest, in a now generation. All lit up, a market, awesome.
