Rise Against the Soviet: The 1956 Revolution - Privat turné
Beskrivning
Historiker argumenterar fortfarande för att kalla händelserna som utlöstes av en fredlig solidaritetstävling av ungerska studenter med det polska folket den 23 oktober 1956: ett uppror, uppror, uppror, populärt uppror, revolution, kontrarevolution eller självständighetskrig. Den bästa definitionen kommer från Sándor Márais dikt, Ängel från himmelen , skrivet till julen 1956: "En nation sa: Nog!". Händelserna från 1956 skakade inte bara den kommunistiska världen utan hade varaktiga effekter på världspolitiken. Den korta andningsperioden "slutligen frihet" gav mod och styrka till ungarna att överleva resten av utländskt tyranni tills det äntligen kollapsade 1989.

Resplan
Vi besöker Kossuth-torget där det ungerska parlamentet står. Bortsett från flera andra imponerande byggnader på torget kommer vi att se var, efter en massdemonstration 1956 massakrerades av regeringen.
På Donaustranden, nära Margit-bron, står en byggnad som under kommunisttiden kallades Vita huset. Det var partiets huvudkontor för den ungerska kommunistregeringen. Vi kommer att besöka detta och ta en titt på statyn av Imre Nagy, premiärminister 1956 som senare mördades.
Åker vi söderut från Margaret Bridge, anländer vi till Bem Square. Torget såg 200 000 ungerska studenter som protesterade mot sovjetiskt styre 1956, i en rally som ursprungligen organiserades för att stödja polska arbetare. Vi kommer också att besöka Bambi Eszpresszó, ett skydd för intellektuella från Buda-sidan i Frankel Leó utca, som har varit starkt sedan 1960-talet och har bibehållit både samma atmosfär och samma inredning sedan dess.
Sándor Petöfi var nyckelfigur i revolutionen 1948, och som sådan kom han för att representera all kamp mot regeringen. Statyn är en mötesplats för politiska händelser och demonstranter fortfarande i dag. Den berömda skådespelaren Sinkovits Imre kom hit till statyn 1956 och reciterade orden från Petöfi som uppmanar till revolution; han arresterades därefter och fängslades.
Ligger längs den lilla envägsstranden Sándor Bródy Street, är Magyar Rádió-byggnaden i Budapest (även känd som Radio Budapest) något avskild från stadens mer livliga genomfarter. Radiobyggnaden var en av krigets epicentrer 1956, och härifrån bad revolutionärer om hjälp från hela världen.
I den sydöstra delen av Budapests stad var Corvin köz det stora motståndscentret, där 1956 kämpade lokala ungdomar de invaderande ryssarna med Molotov-cocktails och vapen som de stal från soldater för att slåss mot sovjetiska tanks. Vi kommer att titta på påminnelserna om striderna här och prata om invasionen 1956 och dess efterdyningar.

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>
