A Nemzeti, valamint a Földigénylő Bizottságok szerepe a demokrácia álarcát öltő proletárdiktatúra kiépítésében Keszthelyen
The National and Land-Possession Rearrangement Committees as instruments of instituting the Communist dictature in Keszthely

Summary/Abstract: The Soviet occupation of Hungary was a critical period in her history. The Red Army conquered her territory. In December of 1944 the Provisory Government was formed and a Provisory Parliament was created. In Hungarian historiography the period between 1945-7 was considered as democratic one. But the real situation proved to be different. The communist party – supported by the Soviets – began to seize power by non-democratic means. In 1945 plenty of matters had been already decided by the Soviets and the two workers’ parties i.e. the Communists and the Social-democrats, when other parties were able to form. In Keszthely, the rearranging of land-possession had been already finished and the local authority i.e. the National Council made decisions in a lot of matters e.g. the election of mayor and vice-mayor, by the time the Party of the Small and Freeholders and the other parties were able to form and join in governing. The rearranging of land-possession, which had been desired for long by many, did not lack anomalies. The study discusses this part of the history of Keszthely.
