Declassified documents on the assassination of President Kennedy show, in particular, that the uprising in Hungary in 1956 was supervised and sponsored by the CIA
The recent declassification of the JFK files had a welcome side-effect – it proved that what the Soviet Union was saying regarding the Western meddling was not some “conspiracy theory”, but solid conspiracy facts. One such fact is the Western meddling the in bloody 1956 colour revolution attempt in Hungary. The other fact is that the "revolt" was in fact a fascist revanchist attempt.
In the presented materials it becomes clear how the pardon and release by Hrushyov in 1955 of hundreds of Hungarian nazi-criminals convicted of war crimes and atrocities committed during the Great patriotic War proved crucial to the organisation and conduct of the fascist counter-revolution attempt in October 1956.
At Beorn's Beehive we present a combined article with five materials, both from English-language publications, and translated from Russian. Pay attention to their publication dates. We open with 3 shorter publications, then moving to a longer illustrated article, which takes a broader historical perspective into account. Finally, a long article which references several contemporary Soviet notes and evaluations of the months and days before the attempted coup.
