Time Zone. The transformation in Hungary in Light of Several Regional Relationships

Summary/Abstract: This article examines certain parallels in the political transformation in Hungary in the context of events in other Central and Eastern European countries. The starting point for the text is the outstanding role of culture, and particularly of writers, in the activities of the opposition in our region. Time Zone had a decisive influence on the course of political events. Most points in common are to be found in the developments in Hungary and Poland. The events of 1988 in both countries had a mutual impact on each other, like two gearwheels (as in 1956). The Round Table talks in Warsaw are an example of this, for they sent an important signal to the opposition in Hungary. This regional interaction led to a strengthening of relations within Central and Eastern Europe.
