Imre Nagy
The gentleman on the bridge, hat and eye to the Hungarian Parliament, and Imre Nagy. Indeed, Imre Nagy. The Hungarians, like the Chinese, in fact pronounce the last name then first name. Fu, Nagy, the man who paid more than anyone else - was tried and hanged farcical - Magyar insubordination against Moscow in 1956. Year, this, the Hungarian uprising, crushed by the Red Army.
More than half a century has passed since those events, but the memory of the Hungarians is deeply linked to that year's terrible. Commemorated with due trappings and with particular devotion. Even by the heirs of the communists (now waving the banner of the Socialist Party).

Europe. The first is the student
Janos Rainer, the second journalist to
Janos Betlen .
