Marking the 50th anniversary of events in 1956, that were a major
turning point in the history of communist-ruled Eastern Europe,
this book contains a selection of some of the most recent research
on those momentous events and their memory and legacy. The book
contains edited contributions from historians and social scientists
from Hungary, Poland the UK and the USA. Their contributions are
the fruit of research which has only been possible since 1989. In
the years since the fall of the communist regimes the state
archives have been opened to researchers and it has been possible
to collect the testimony of eye-witnesses without fear of
repression and censorship. The outcome of 1956 led to Poland
embarking on its own distinctive version of communist rule.
Meanwhile 1956 in Hungary saw the first society-wide attempt to
overthrow a ruling communist regime - only to be put down by Soviet
military intervention. In both countries the events of 1956 had
lasting repercussions for society and its relationship with the
communist regime. In retrospect they can be seen as paving the way
for the eventual fall of the communist regimes in East Central
Europe in 1989.
