can thus be seen the whole enigma
of the Hungarian people.
A highly strung and volatile nation,
romantic, tempestuous, proud
and arrogant of their heritage,
capable both of cruelty
and generous kindness,
the Hungarians possess a complex
national makeup not easily understood.
This is Erzsbet Sulyok, aged 44.
Her only son was killed yesterday.
Istvn Berek, aged 19.
Parents deported five years ago
and not heard of since.
'Eva Rakes, aged 17.
Has a common sympathy with Istvn.
Her mother being killed three months ago
by security police.
Der Bn, aged 37.
Foreman at a machine factory in Ujpest.
And Mtys Vajda, 40,
a charge hand at the same factory
make strange co-patriots.
For one, Vajda, is a social democrat,
and the other, Bn, a staunch communist,
and consequently
they are both forever arguing.
This is Katalin Vardas,
aged 18, art student.
For her young years, an advanced cynic
and anti-communist.
Lszl Dondosi, 24, librarian.
And before the revolution,
the organizer of a discussion circle,
forbidden by the security police.
Each of these people, highly individual,
each with conflicting ideals.
It is, therefore, too naive to conclude
that the one common belief strong enough
to bring these people together
of their country
and their desire for its freedom'?
The desire for which
they are obviously prepared to die.
This is an old truck disguised
as a military ambulance.
In it, five members
the siege of their party headquarters
down in the city centre.
But they don't get far.
Called the AVO,
these are the men who've held down
the country with an iron grip of terror.
What are these men'?
Are they traitors and bullying
opportunists of the worst kind'?
Or are they unwitting dupes?
And if the freedom fighters
had actually won the revolution,
would any of them have donned similar
uniforms to hold these men in check'?
By the 30th of October,
the Soviet forces had withdrawn
to the outskirts of the capital.
And Imre Nagy, the premier,
had set up his provisional government.
The revolutionaries were
now in complete control of the city.
Four days, the people of Budapest
lived under the illusion of freedom,
until the morning of Sunday,
November 4th,
when Imre Nagy broadcast
the following message
to the Hungarian people.
"This is Imre Nagy speaking,
"chairman of the Council of Ministers
of the Hungarian People's Republic.
"In the early hours of this morning,
"Soviet troops launched an attack
against our capital city,
"with the obvious intention
of overthrowing
"the lawful democratic government."
