On this day, 69 years ago, November 4, 1956 (October 2, 1956 in the lunar calendar), the Soviet Union suppressed the October Incident in Hungary. The de-Stalinization of the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in February 1956 caused a great shock in Hungary. Within and outside the Hungarian Party, especially among intellectuals, there was strong dissatisfaction with the series of political and economic mistakes made during the Rakosi era, especially the undermining of socialist democracy and the rule of law. After Rakossi stepped down in July 1956, the Hungarian Party was not determined to correct Rakossi's mistakes and took ineffective measures, which exacerbated the dissatisfaction of the people. Coupled with the activities of hostile forces at home and abroad, on October 23, 1956, thousands of students and citizens in Budapest took to the streets, demanding that Hungary innovate its politics and economy. Some armed men occupied radio stations, international telecommunications offices, editorial offices of the Party Central Committee organs, weapons depots and police posts, and there were looting battles between the offensive and defensive sides. A government headed by Najib Imre was formed, and on 1 November Najib declared Hungary neutral and withdrew from the Warsaw Pact. At the same time he asked the United Nations to discuss Hungary. In this situation, the Soviet Union sent troops to intervene and quell the incident. The Hungarian Workers 'Party announced its dissolution on October 30, and the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party was established under the leadership of Kadar-Janos. On November 4, the Workers 'and Peasants' Revolutionary Government was formed. For many years, the evaluation of the events of 1956 has been a sensitive issue in the Hungarian party, state and society. Before 1989, the Hungarian government had always insisted on the view that it was a counter-revolutionary incident. In 1989, the Central Committee of the Hungarian Party settled the protest over this incident and considered it a people's uprising. The re-evaluation of the events of 1956 became the prelude to the drastic political and economic changes in Hungary.
