it must be an especially sour feeling in #Hungary
the article i linked to says there were protests against #Orban on the anniversary of the #HungarianRevolution on Thursday- but also rallies in support of Orban
how does a human being get like that?
on the anniversary of a defining national moment of brave desperate defiance of #imperialism... to mark that by kissing the boot of that very same imperialism (#USSR/ #Russia)
so much stupidity and evil in this world
On October 23 1956 the #HungarianRevolution ignited
It lasted 15 days
It was crushed by #Soviet Tanks
On the anniversary Thursday, there were protests against #Orban
Peter Lakits, holding a sign reading "Russians Go Home":
โOne thing we have learned from #history is that we have learned nothing from history. Sometimes the tanks that crushed #freedom in #Budapest are the very same ones that are now crushing freedom in #Ukraine"

#ImreNagy, twice premier of #Hungary, the last time durring the #HungarianRevolution of 1956, was executed by puppets of the #USSR on 16 June 1958.
I missed the aniversary of his death by some 57 days.
And wonder if the revolution was why Alex, a Hungarian, was living on #BulwerStreet in #Perth, killing his own chooks, in the late 1960s.
Muscovite tank T-55 destroyed in #Ukraine in 2023 was identified as one who took part in suppressing the #HungarianRevolution of 1956
*The uprising lasted 12 days before being crushed by Soviet tanks and troops on 4 November 1956. Thousands were killed and wounded and nearly a quarter of a million Hungarians fled the country
