@OurToothbrush oops deleted wrong comment. You and are having this exact exchange in 2 places and I only want to have it in one.
I'm trying to call Rákosi a Stalinist. He led the Stalinist govt in Hungary at that time I thought and I'm pretty sure he asked Kruschev to send in the tanks. The "Destalinization" leader got deposed by him.
My history on all this is rusty as hell though.
