Description
Dr. Ed Fields. Here is a short but powerful history of the brutal but little-known rule of Jewish Communist Béla Kun and his bloody henchmen in Hungary after World War I.
The Hungarian Soviet Republic was a short-lived communist regime that emerged in the aftermath of World War I and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In March 1919, Kun, a Marxist revolutionary who had spent time in Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution.
Amidst social unrest, economic collapse, and territorial losses imposed by the Allies, the existing government ceded power to Kun and his Hungarian Communist Party, establishing a Soviet-style republic modeled after Lenin’s regime in Russia.
Kun’s government rapidly nationalized industry, banks, and large estates, aiming to create a classless society. However, the regime struggled with severe economic disorganization, food shortages, and widespread opposition. The Hungarian Red Army, initially successful in reclaiming some lost territory, ultimately failed to maintain military support or popular legitimacy. Kun also formed alliances with local socialists, but his radical policies and reliance on political repression, including the use of the paramilitary “Lenin Boys,” alienated large segments of the population.
The regime collapsed in August 1919 after Romanian forces invaded Budapest, capitalizing on Hungary’s internal instability and military weakness. The Romanians ousted the communists and occupied the city, bringing the Hungarian Soviet Republic to an end after only 133 days in power. Béla Kun fled to Austria and later to the Soviet Union, where he was eventually executed during Stalin’s purges.
Author Dr. Ed Fields describes—without the poison of political correctness—how Hungary was left in disarray after WWI, how Kun came to power, his alliance with Lenin and other radical Bolsheviks, how Kun ruled Hungary with an iron fist and how the Hungarian people finally rose up against his murderous regime and sent him scurrying to Crimea with the blessing of Lenin.
Many pictures of the perpetrators of the terror.
