Established by the Hungarian National Assembly in February 2014, the Committee was charged with the double task of scientific research and awareness raising. Beyond conducting systematic and comprehensive research on the communist dictatorship’s power mechanisms, key organizations, and cadre policy, and uncovering generations of individual and collective trauma, we also help preserve the memory of the dictatorship by informing public opinion on the subject and paying our respects to the victims of the Hungarian communist regime. The present volume provides an overview of the last two years of scientific research by the Committee, as well as the professional interests of the members of the Committee and our regular and contracted researchers. The studies presented in this yearbook are arranged in chronological order, and center around three major themes or avenues of research. The first group of studies focuses on certain aspects of the mechanisms of the Hungarian communist dictatorship. Gergely Krisztián Horváth provides an overview of the violent transformation of agricultural production between 1945 and the early 1960s, which led to the elimination of traditional peasant society as well as severe and lasting sociohistorical consequences. István Ötvös analyzes political trials in Hungary to demonstrate the strategic use of judicial instruments by communist leadership to achieve certain political objectives, which was a common practice in the dictatorial regimes of the Soviet Bloc. These also used methods beyond the law to oppress civil society, as shown by Barbara Bank’s overview of the history of internment, forced labor camps, and forced relocation in Hungary. Csaba Káli discusses the specificities of the communist 7 NEBYEARBOOK 2016–2017 cadre system, the recruitment of political functionaries, and the operation of the party apparatus in the “long” 1950s (from 1948 until the early 1960s). Anita M. Madarász presents another side of the dictatorial regime through a discussion of the early Cold War phase of British‒Hungarian cultural and diplomatic relations. István Simon gives an overview of the prison and detention agent networks of the political police in the Kádár era, which were special informant networks comprised of convicts and detainees who were recruited to carry out observation work at prisons and during political investigations. Gábor Szilágyi examines the history of legal and illegal financial aid to Western European communist parties, which was an integral part of the system’s working since one of its main traits was to support the political objectives of the Soviet Union. Lastly, Áron Máthé discusses the internal and external affairs of Hungary in the late 1960s with regard to Hungary’s participation in the August 1968 military occupation of Czechoslovakia, which was orchestrated by the Soviet Union to disrupt the Prague Spring reform process. The second group of studies focuses on one particular aspect of the com- munist dictatorship, the ideological struggle against religion in the form of the overt or covert persecution of the churches. From the very beginning, the atheistic communist party made significant efforts to eliminate religious traditions and their institutional framework, however, its objectives, strategies, and instruments might have changed over time. Due to the historical coexistence of several religious denominations in Hungary, analyzing the parallels and differences between the treatment and persecution of these churches provides an insight into the religious dimensions of communist oppression. In this volume, we included two case studies on the various aspects and correlations of communist church policy. Réka Kiss analyzes the political procedures initiated against the leaders of the Hungarian YMCA, the largest Protestant youth organization in Hungary to discuss the fluctuating objectives of, and state security involvement in communist policy towards churches and society; and Viktor Attila Soós reconstructs the murder case of János Brenner – a Catholic priest brutally murdered in 1957 for political reasons and beatified in 2018 as a martyr of the communist regime – and the relevant investigation and court procedures, which were deliberately derailed by the authorities to suppress the truth and protect the perpetrators. Finally, the third group of studies examines the history of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, which is not only the most internationally well-known event of twentieth-century Hungarian history, but also constitutes an important 8 NEBYEARBOOK 2016–2017 chapter of the global history of the Cold War, as it marked the greatest challenge the Soviet Union had faced from its European satellite states. Although the Hungarian events of 1956 have been extensively discussed in national as well as international literature, the history of the revolution continues to raise open questions requiring further scientific scrutiny. In their studies, István Galambos and Martin Gulyás discuss the process of revolutionary self-organization and different types of spontaneously established democratic institutions by analyzing the operation of local revolutionary councils and workers’ councils, respectively. On the other hand, three studies focus on the reprisals following the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. Attila Szakolczai examines reprisal trials to analyze the logic of the investigation and court procedures, the specificities of the cooperation between the investigating and judicial bodies, and the political considerations and motives of communist leadership, while Kristóf Erdős and Gabriella Müller focus on two particular cases. Erdős examines the case of Lajos Gulyás, a Reformed pastor who was arrested, tried, and executed on false charges, and Müller discusses the trial of Géza Péch, a voluntary rescue driver who became involved in the rear-guard struggles of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 as a liaison between different revolutionary groups. Since its establishment four years ago, the Committee of National Remembrance has organized a total of thirty-three national and international scientific conferences and published twenty-five volumes. The members and researchers of the Committee have also held approximately 400 national and international awareness-raising and scientific presentations, and compiled several online databases available to the general public. We trust that this yearbook will give our readers an account of the past two years of research by the Committee, which continues its commitment to historical research, analysis, and interpretations of the events of the recent past for a better understanding of the mechanisms of the Soviet system in Hungary and the international dimensions of the communist dictatorship.

  • CONTINUITY and CHANGE in EARLY MEDIEVAL LANDSCAPES in WESTERN HUNGARY (POSSIBILITIES for RESEARCH)1 Réka Virágos As a Principl
    CONTINUITY AND CHANGE IN EARLY MEDIEVAL LANDSCAPES IN WESTERN HUNGARY (POSSIBILITIES FOR RESEARCH)1 Réka Virágos As a principle, the major parameters of any territory can be described by its geographical and natural features. The most important are terrain configur- ations, hydrogeology, soils, vegetation, and fauna. These are the characteristics which fundamentally determined the settlement of people in the past. People changed an environment and the land became a cultural landscape. The same is true in the case of western Hungary, which went through a remarkable change, mainly in the Roman period. This change had a strong effect that continued into post-Roman times and posed a challenge for the new populations that appeared in the region. In this article I will show the possibilities and expectations for further research concerning the post-Roman landscape of Western Hungary,2 formerly part of the Roman province Pannonia. At the present stage of research, my main goal is to take the archaeological sources, methods, and potential problems into account, and, additionally, to scrutinize questions about the changes of landscape management and landscape use in this period.3 Theoretical and Methodological Considerations Archaeological research on the fifth- to the eighth-century in Hungary has revealed mainly cemeteries; therefore, scholars have examined this period predominantly through burials and grave goods (that is, single objects or object types). These scholars had to face a number of problems in the case of other features such as fragmentary remnants of settlements originating after the 1 This article is an extended version of the paper “Continuity and Change of Land- scapes in the Early Middle Ages,” given at the conference Translatio, Transformatio (Changes of Late Antique and Early Medieval Christian Cult Places and Sites in the Middle Ages) held in the Department of Medieval Studies at CEU, Budapest, 16 September 2006.

  • Soviet Military Power 1981.P65
    The more constructive East-West relationship which the Allies seek requires tangible signs that the Soviet Union is prepared to abandon the disturbing buildup of its military strength, to desist from resorting to force and intimidation and to cease creating or exploiting situations of crisis and instability in the Third World. From the Communique of the NATO Foreign Ministers Meeting May 1981 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 CONTENTS I SOVIET MILITARY POWER 5 II MILITARY RESOURCE ALLOCATION 9 III ORGANIZATION OF SOVIET ARMED FORCES 15 IV SOVIET THEATER FORCES 25 V SOVIET STRATEGIC FORCES 53 VI QUEST FOR TECHNOLOGICAL SUPERIORITY 71 VII SOVIET GLOBAL POWER PROJECTION 83 VIII THE CHALLENGE 95 The illustrations of new Soviet weapons systems introducing each chapter are derived from various U.S. sources; while not precise in every detail, they are as authentic as possible. PREFACE The Soviet Armed Forces today number more than 4.8 million men. For the past quar- ter century, we have witnessed the continuing growth of Soviet military power at a pace that shows no signs of slackening in the future. All elements of the Soviet Armed Forces -the Strategic Rocket Forces, the Ground Forces of the Army, the Air Forces, the Navy and the Air Defense Forces continue-to modernize with an unending flow of new weapons systems, tanks, missiles, ships, artil- lery and aircraft. The Soviet defense budget continues to grow to fund this force buildup, to fund the projection of Soviet power far from Soviet shores and to fund Soviet use of proxy forces to support revolutionary factions and conflict in an increasing threat to international stability.

  • Reagan and the Soviet Union: Competing Military Strategies, 1980-1988
    4 Reagan and the Soviet Union: Competing Military Strategies, 1980-1988 David M. Glantz This essay evaluates the policies and military strategy introduced by U.S. Pres- ident Ronald Reagan vis-à-vis the Soviet Union, within the context of over forty years of intense strategic competition called the Cold War. The Cold War remained “cold” because the two competing countries emerged from the World War as victorious superpower with unchallenged military capabilities and un- precedented territories either under their control or within their spheres of in- fluence. Despite sharply differing ideologies and political systems, the United States and Soviet Union understood the risks and potential costs of war, espe- cially after both became atomic powers by the late 1940s. Both recognized that deliberately unleashing a world war was no longer a rational act. Given this unique constraint, the ensuing completion became a prolonged game of strategic “cat and mouse,” as the two counties jockeyed with each other for a more advantageous position militarily, politically, and economically. The instruments of this game were specific military strategies governing the nature of the competition and setting limits on the countries’ military actions, all of which acknowledged that the nuclear balance was quite literally a mutually-rec- ognized balance of terror. David M. Glantz, “Reagan and the Soviet Union: Competing Military Strategies, 1980-1988,” Essay, Enduring Legacy Project, John A. Adams ’71 Center for Military History & Strategic Analysis, Virginia Military Institute, 2014. 2 Conventional wisdom concerning the Cold War maintains that this “cat and mouse” game played out successfully, that is, relatively peacefully, because neither side was willing to violate the constraints imposed by this balance of ter- ror.

  • Hungarian Rhapsody Personalities Compiled by Chip Saltsman
    Hungarian Rhapsody Personalities Compiled by Chip Saltsman The battles in Hungary during late 1944 and early 1945 featured an interesting cast of characters, some for their infamy and some for the mark they would make on the world stage in the years after the war. Leonid Brezhnev (December 19, 1906 - November 10, 1982) – Major General Leonid Brezhnev (center figure in the photo), is the future leader of the Soviet Union from 1964 until his death in 1982. Helped in his rise by political patron Nikita Khrushchev, Brezhnev was the Political Officer of the 18th Army in the Caucasus, particularly supporting their landings at Novorossiysk (about which he wrote a book named “The Little Land”). During the Hungarian Rhapsody Campaign, Brezhnev was the Chief of the Political Directorate of the 4th Ukrainian Front (the white frame units in the northern part of the map). Oskar Dirlewanger (26 September 1895 – 7 June 1945) was arguably the evilest man in the Nazi SS. Dirlewanger served in France during World War I, was wounded 6 times, and apparently emerged shattered by the frenzied violence and barbarism of years in the trenches. This, combined with an amoral personality, alcoholism, and sadistic sexual orientation, determined his path to “terror warfare” in the Second World War. He was a member of the Freikorps and active with the SA between the wars, embezzling money from his employers which he funneled to the SA. He fought in the Spanish Civil War as a member of the Condor Legion, and was wounded three more times. At the start of World War 2, he joined the Waffen SS with the rank of Obersturmführer (first lieutenant), and eventually became the commander of the so-called Dirlewanger Brigade.
