        @OurToothbrush oops deleted wrong comment. You and are having this exact exchange in 2 places and I only want to have it in one.

        I’m trying to call Rákosi a Stalinist. He led the Stalinist govt in Hungary at that time I thought and I’m pretty sure he asked Kruschev to send in the tanks. The “Destalinization” leader got deposed by him.

        My history on all this is rusty as hell though.

          Yes, and both because I dont believe you and as an exercise in learning what actually happened, could you please cite your claims? Because that does not line up with what I know to be the sequence of events.

            @OurToothbrush interesting idea but no, to be candid, I’ve reached the limit point of my interest in these details. I only learned about it as a byproduct of spending time in Hungary, and that was over a decade ago.

            I’ve edited my comments and crossed out my errors so they don’t mislead anybody.

            I would suggest if you do want to actually educate people, it might be more effective if you post what you know to be the sequence of events, and some suggestions for further reading.
