Rise Against the Soviet: The 1956 Revolution - Tour privato
Descrizione
Gli storici sostengono ancora che cosa chiamare gli eventi scatenati da una pacifica manifestazione di solidarietà degli studenti ungheresi con il popolo polacco il 23 ottobre 1956: una ribellione, rivolta, insurrezione, sollevazione popolare, rivoluzione, controrivoluzione o Guerra d'indipendenza. La migliore definizione viene dal poema di Sándor Márai, Angelo dal cielo , scritto per il Natale del 1956: "Una nazione ha detto: Basta!". Gli avvenimenti del 1956 hanno scosso non solo il mondo comunista, ma hanno avuto effetti duraturi sulla politica mondiale. Il breve periodo di respirazione della "libertà finalmente" diede coraggio e forza agli ungheresi per sopravvivere al resto della tirannia straniera fino a quando alla fine non crollò nel 1989.

Itinerario
Visiteremo Kossuth Square, dove sorge il parlamento ungherese. Oltre a molti altri imponenti edifici sulla piazza, vedremo dove, dopo una manifestazione di massa nel 1956, dozzine furono massacrate dal governo.
Sulle rive del Danubio, vicino al Ponte Margit, sorge un edificio che in epoca comunista era soprannominato La Casa Bianca. Era il quartier generale del Partito del governo comunista ungherese. Visiteremo questo e daremo un'occhiata anche alla statua di Imre Nagy, Primo Ministro nel 1956 che fu successivamente assassinato.
Andando a sud da Margaret Bridge, arriviamo a Bem Square. La piazza vide 200.000 studenti ungheresi che protestavano contro il dominio sovietico nel 1956, in una manifestazione inizialmente organizzata per sostenere i lavoratori polacchi. Visiteremo anche Bambi Eszpresszó, un rifugio per gli intellettuali di Buda a Frankel Leó utca, che sta andando forte dagli anni '60 e da allora ha mantenuto la stessa atmosfera e lo stesso design degli interni.
Sándor Petöfi fu la figura chiave della rivoluzione del 1948 e come tale arrivò a rappresentare ogni lotta contro il governo. La statua è ancora oggi un punto d'incontro per eventi politici e manifestanti. Il famoso attore Sinkovits Imre venne qui alla statua nel 1956 e recitò le parole di Petöfi che incitavano alla rivoluzione; è stato successivamente arrestato e imprigionato.
Situato lungo la minuscola strada a senso unico Sándor Bródy, l'edificio Magyar Rádió di Budapest (noto anche come Radio Budapest) è in qualche modo isolato dalle vie più trafficate della città. L'edificio della Radio fu uno degli epicentri dei combattimenti nel 1956, e da qui i rivoluzionari hanno chiesto aiuto al mondo in generale.
Nella parte sud-est della città di Budapest, Corvin Köz era il principale centro di resistenza, dove nel 1956 i giovani locali combatterono i russi invasori con cocktail molotov e pistole che rubarono ai soldati per combattere contro i carri armati sovietici. Esamineremo qui i ricordi delle battaglie e parleremo dell'invasione del 1956 e delle sue conseguenze.

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>
