Seventy years ago, Soviet troops entered Hungary to put down the Hungarian revolution, which had begun in October 1956 as a nationwide uprising against Soviet-backed rule in Budapest. The intervention ended weeks of resistance and forced hundreds of thousands of Hungarians to flee abroad. Anniversary posts are circulating today, with history and travel writers revisiting Budapest's revolutionary landmarks and remembering the victims of the crackdown.
Why now: The anniversary of the Soviet intervention of 4 November 1956 prompts annual remembrance and historical reflection.
