History

In 1956, the communist government was overthrown, but the uprising was violently put down by the Red Army.

Declaring the events of 1956 a revolution was a political decision after the change of regime in hungary, so the new establishment could deduce itself from the freedom fight of 1956.[1]

By definition the movement was an uprising, not a revolution, because its mainstream demands had no intention to overthrow or modify the communist constitutional order. There were representatives of radicals, like Cardinal Mindszenty, but they weren't influenial to the movement in general. On the other hand, the leader of the 1956 movement was the communist Imre Nagy.

End of communism

Communist rule in Hungary came to an end in 1989.
