The life course of Imre Nagy

Pages 141-151 | Published online: 12 Nov 2007
 

Imre Nagy is remembered above all as the prime minister of Hungary who remained true to his decisions during the revolution of October‐November 1956. This was a course of action which led, ultimately, to his death on the gallows. This heroic image was only enhanced by the solemn re‐interment of his remains on 16 June 1989, which was symbolic of the recent democratic transformation of Hungary. In addition, his name is connected with the ‘thaw’ in 1953 that followed the darkest years of Stalin's regime in the Soviet Union, when Nagy served as the prime minister of the ‘New Course’ government in Hungary.
