23 out 1956 ano - Hungarian Uprising
Descrição:
A nation-wide revolt against the Marxist-Leninist government of the Hungarian People's Republic and its Soviet-imposed policies. It was the first major threat to Soviet control since the USSR's forces drove Nazi Germany from its territory at the end of World War II. It began as a student protest, eventually attracting thousands through marches and announcements through loudspeakers. A student delegation, entering the radio building to try to broadcast the students' demands, was detained. When the delegation's release was demanded by the protesters outside, they were fired upon from within the building by the State Security Police. One student died and was wrapped in a flag and held above the crowd. This was the start of the revolution. As the news spread, disorder and violence erupted throughout the capital.
