Rise Against the Soviet: The 1956 Revolution - Private Tour
Beskrivelse
Historikere argumenterer stadig for at kalde de begivenheder, der blev udløst af en fredelig solidaritetssamling af ungarske studerende med det polske folk 23. oktober 1956: et oprør, oprør, oprør, populær oprør, revolution, kontrarevolution eller uafhængighedskrig. Den bedste definition kommer fra Sándor Márais digt, engel fra himlen , skrevet til julen 1956: "En nation sagde: Nok!". Begivenhederne i 1956 skakede ikke kun den kommunistiske verden, men havde vedvarende virkninger på verdenspolitikken. Den korte åndedrætstid "frihed til sidst" gav mod og styrke til ungarere at overleve resten af udenlandsk tyranni, indtil det sluttede sammen i 1989.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vi besøger Kossuth-pladsen, hvor det ungarske parlament står. Bortset fra flere andre imponerende bygninger på pladsen, vil vi se, hvor der efter en massedemonstration i 1956 blev massakreret af regeringen.
På bredden af Donau, tæt på Margit Bridge, står en bygning, der i kommunistiske tider blev kaldt Det Hvide Hus. Det var partiets hovedkvarter for den ungarske kommunistiske regering. Vi vil besøge dette og også se på statuen af Imre Nagy, premierminister i 1956, der senere blev myrdet.
Kører vi syd fra Margaret Bridge, ankommer vi til Bem Square. På pladsen var der 200.000 ungarske studerende, der protesterede mod sovjetisk styre i 1956, i et rally, der oprindeligt blev arrangeret til støtte for polske arbejdere. Vi vil også besøge Bambi Eszpresszó, et krisecenter for Buda-side-intellektuelle i Frankel Leó utca, har været stærk siden 1960'erne og har opretholdt både den samme atmosfære og den samme interiørdesign lige siden.
Sándor Petöfi var nøglefigur i revolutionen i 1948, og som sådan kom han til at repræsentere al kamp mod regeringen. Statuen er et mødested for politiske begivenheder og demonstranter stadig i dag. Den berømte skuespiller Sinkovits Imre kom hit til statuen i 1956 og reciterede Petöfis ord, der tilskynder til revolution; han blev derefter arresteret og fængslet.
Placeret langs den lille envejs Sándor Bródy Street er Budapests Magyar Rádió-bygning (også kendt som Radio Budapest) noget aflukket fra byens mere travle gennemfartsveje. Radiobygningen var en af epicentrene i kampene i 1956, og herfra bad revolutionærer om hjælp fra hele verden.
I den sydøstlige del af Budapests by var Corvin köz det største modstandscenter, hvor lokale unge i 1956 kæmpede for de invaderende russere med Molotov-cocktails og kanoner, de stjal fra soldater for at kæmpe mod sovjetiske tanks. Vi vil se på påmindelserne om slagene her og tale om invasionen i 1956 og dets efterspørgsel.

Excellent tour for those who really want to immerse themselves in the communist history of Hungary. It does not treat the 1956 revolution in a vacuum. You get an understanding of the seeds sown back in the mid 1800s through the fall if communism in 1990. A lot of Budapest territory covered through public transportation starting in Buda. And ending in Corbin Sq. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided a lot of personal insights into what life was like before and after 1956. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind review. We are glad to hear that our tour left a pleasant impression on you.
Peter has a library of Budapest history in his mind and excels at making the topics easy to understand while offering in-depth coverage of Budapest's long history. We were visiting with our 91 year old father, who'd escaped from Hungary during the 1956 revolution. Peter slowed his pace to allow our father to keep up plus ensured the topics covered were those most relevant to him. He also took us to places that we hadn't heard about like the cemetary where we those killed during the 1956 revolution were buried.
Thank you for reviewing our tour! We are delighted that you visited our small country and took the time to explore Budapest’s hidden gems with us.
The in-depth information from our guide. Beside which, he was so personable and really drew us into the whole culture of the time. We felt we could have easily spent at least another day exploring the sites and discussing the outcomes.
Such a helpful, inspiring tour! Barna was incredibly courteous and full of stories about his unique native country. I wanted to know about Budapest’s history in regards to the Cold War. Any question I asked about the USSR, he had an answer or a tale to tell. He showed me spots where the ‘56 Revolution went down. He explained what was happening and why. He provided me a variety of films to check out. Plenty of good restaurant options, as well! We started in Pest, walked across the bridge to Buda, took the metro back to Pest. I learned a lot and was overly intrigued! Thanks again!
Very interesting sites of the 1956 uprising. Guide chronicled the narrative ell with stories and sites. Little short for $99.
Dear Brenda. I am pleased to hear you liked the tour. You're right, the theme is so big we could have gone on for hours. I am glad that even so the tour lasted half an hour more than advertised.
I enjoyed it very much. It was especially good to learn the dramatic events of that day, on the very day - now a national holiday, so the whole city was shut down for parades, flags were everywhere, and everyone was celebrating what you’re about to learn. Miklos Molnar is an experienced historian with the dry irony typical of the Hungarian view of their more than bumpy history. His catalogue of before-and-after photos was excellent if shocking. Interesting, smart, fun, recommended.
Thank you for your wonderful and erudite evaluation. I was so happy to share all the information with the group, let it be tragic, dramatic but in this case mostly the last morsels when people could appreciate freedom at last. Hope to see you again on one of our other tours. Miklós
I always wanted to hear about Hungarian revolution from someone local. Thank you for the chance. I got a total view about that history and got a lot of new info. Thank you.
<p>Tour guide was very polite professional and Knowledgeable. <br/> Spent time explaining key areas and events in Hungarian History.<br/> However, The tour was too general, with not enough time or information devoted to the 1956 Revolution. the reason why we had booked this tour. we had studied the Revolution before and a lot of key areas where missed, even though we walked past them.<br/> With that, we did learn about other areas of Hungarian History and visited places we had not been Before.<br/> The tour guide did admit that this was the first time he had taken this tour.</p>
<p>Mikolos was great. Very interesting tour very informative. Highly recommend</p>
<p>The tour takes you to the important sites of the revolution. My guide was able to answer all my questions and provide valuable information of each location and its relevance to the revolution. I definitely recommend it to anyone interested in Hungarian history.</p>
