The years of 1949-1956 could be described as the gloomiest in
modern Hungarian history, as the country's population lived under
vicious totalitarian leadership. Eventually, the regime began to
disintegrate, leading to the 1956 Hungarian Revolution - a critical
moment in the history of the Cold War. But why did this revolution
occur in Hungary, rather than any other countries in the Soviet
bloc? Before the Uprising examines the specific social, economic,
political, and intellectual characteristics of a totalitarian
country. Throughout the volume, Peter Kenez questions what the
necessary components of totalitarianism are: whether it is a
complete state control of the economy, a personality cult of the
leader, or a specific type of propaganda organization. By
describing the totalitarianism of the past, this volume show what
we can learn for the present, and what to expect from the emerging
autocracies of the future.
