Today you have a more important role than mechanic Students of the Budapest University of technology during the Hungarian revolution, 1956

Summary/Abstract: The study explores the role of the Budapest University of Technology during the events of 1956 in view of the fact that a student gathering there on 22 October 1956 played a key role in the launch of the revolution, becoming legendary among pre- revolutionary student meetings. In addition the study outlines the events that preceded that revolutionary gathering and relations between students from the University of Technology and their peers at other universities. It then examines the degree of earnestness among the students in the last days of October and the first days of November, the stances taken by their teachers during the revolution, and what positions they held in the subsequent months. It also looks at what was regarded as unacceptable at individual meetings of the relevant bodies labelled revolution and counterrevolution. In conclusion it explores and characterises in summary the individual phases of the quelling of the revolution.
