Hungarian Uprising- 50 years ago...

The Hungarian uprising of 1956 was a spontaneous rebellion by a nation
against the rule from Moscow - against the faceless, indifferent,
incompetent functionaries (the 'funkies' David Irving calls them, adapting
the Hungarian word funkcionáriusok) who in little more than a decade had
turned their country into a pit of Marxist misery.
But this fluttering of a national spirit was brief: the Soviet Union
crushed the uprising with a brutality that shocked the western
world...
