Posts are marking the anniversary of 4 November 1956, when Soviet forces moved into Hungary to crush the Hungarian Revolution, the uprising against the communist government that began in October that year. The Soviet intervention ended the revolt after days of fighting, killing thousands of Hungarians and forcing some 200,000 to flee abroad. Commemorative posts link to historical accounts and travel writing about Budapest's revolution landmarks.
Why now: It is the anniversary of the 1956 Soviet intervention in Hungary, remembered on this day.
