In the back of the revolution

The official position of Moscow about the 1956 revolution in Hungary did not change. This was stated by Russian ambassador Vladimir Sergeyev when visiting the Foreign Ministry of this country, RIA Novosti reports .

The Hungarian side expressed its position on statements in the Russian media. “The ambassador, of course, accepted the information and confirmed that the official position of the Russian Federation was stated, as you know, in 92 and in 2006 by Russian leaders, and since then it has not undergone any changes,” said Irina Zvonova, spokesman for diplomatic mission. - The warpes agreed that this issue is, of course, the destiny of historians. The ambassador said that in our country, journalists and scientists, of course, have the right to their own opinion, to their own position. "

The press secretary noted that neither notes nor protests did not declare to the diplomat. "The Hungarian side drew attention to the fact that this was not a challenge to the ambassador to the Foreign Ministry, but an invitation to a conversation," said Zvonova.

In 1992, Russian President Boris Yeltsin condemned the actions of the USSR, which introduced troops to Hungary to suppress the uprising. In 2006, Vladimir Putin confirmed the assessment of his predecessor . "We do not forget the 56th year. I am sure that we are able to develop relationships in such a way that this will never happen again," the president said.

On the eve of the Foreign Ministry of Hungary, Sergeyev invited Sergeyev to explain the dismissive reviews of Russian official propagandists about the 1956 revolution. The ministry emphasized that they would not tolerate, so that someone "mockingly responds about the revolution and its heroes." Meanwhile, in a statement of the Foreign Ministry, Russian propaganda described the Hungarian uprising of 1956 as a “pogrom” and the first in a series of “color revolutions”, and also stated that Washington was behind the performance.

This year, Hungary marks the 60th anniversary of the 1956 revolution. October 23 - the day of the beginning of the uprising - is celebrated in the country as a day of the nation.

The anniversary of the revolution was dedicated in particular to the plot in the "Vesti of the Week" of Dmitry Kiselev on "Russia-1". The propagandist said that the desire for changes demonstrated by citizens of Hungary in the Soviet bloc "was picked up by Western intelligence, who already in those days worked out the technology of turning initially a peaceful protest into bloody chaos." "Perhaps it was then in Hungary that this was the first color revolution in friendly countries?" - added Kiselev.

During the Soviet intervention undertaken to suppress the revolution in Hungary, about 2.5 thousand citizens of the country died. Another 200 thousand were forced to emigrate. The interventionists lost about 700 soldiers killed.
