Summary/Abstract: We can describe the historiography of the Hungarian Labour Movement as a relatively autonomous academic field of the Hungarian historiography. The Institute of Party History was the most significant contributor to the historiography of this field. This case study deals with “Party History Bulletins” (1955–1987) that has been showing various researches that concentrated mainly on political parties, and workers’ movement of different countries. The second part of the study introduces the stormy story of the book about Béla Kun, written by György Borsányi, as a relevant case story for the relations of party leadership and historians.
