Summary/Abstract: After the territorial revision, the extreme right-wing movements in the Kingdom of Hungary almost immediately expanded their activities to the returned territories. For a long time only the Arrow Cross Party (Nyilaskeresztes Párt) managed to do any serious organizing work among local society, and it was the only party in Hungary that was able to compete with the United Hungarian Party (Egyesült Magyar Párt) and later the Party of Hungarian Life (Magyar Élet Pártja) in the period 1938–1941. The movement began to organise in the Ugocsa county in 1940, but only in Nagyszőlős and Tiszaújlak was the party life more considerable. Thus, in the course of this study, we have attempted to provide an insight into the operation and activities of the Arrow Cross Party in Nagyszőlős and Tiszaújlak with the help of documents and other available sources in the Berehovo section of the State Archives of Transcarpathian Oblast.
