In spite of its small size, the Hungarian Communist party (HCP),
founded in the fall of 1918, has played an important role both in
Hungary's national history and in the international communist
movement. Hungary, which was the only soviet republic other than
the ephemeral Bavarian soviet republic to exist outside the USSR,
lasted five months during the critical period of the Paris Peace
Conference. The "veterans" of the Hungarian soviet republic, like
Bela Kun, Georg Lukacs, and Eugen Varga, later held important posts
in the Comintern and in the international Communist press. In the
Stalinist era, the HCP distinguished itself by excessive zeal in
the application of "integral Stalinism" in foreign policy (e.g.,
anti-Titoism), the economy, and political life (e.g., the Rajk and
Kadar trials). However, the 1956 revolution was engineered by the
revisionist communist intelligentsia and by such revisionist party
leaders as Imre Nagy. Finally, in spite of its repressive role
after the revolution, in the 1970s under Janos Kadar the HCP
introduced a new system of "liberalism" and economic reform.
