A magyar parlamenti pártok vezetői az 1917. februári orosz forradalomról
The Leaders of the Hungarian Parliamentary Parties about the Russian Revolution of February 1917

Summary/Abstract: The Russian revolution of February 1917 exerted a great influence on Hungarian public opinion. It was a general hope that the war would end, peace come and the menacing regime of the Tsar collapse. Yet the reactions of the politicians diverged. Since prime minister István Tisza saw no sign of the revolution’s potential spread to Hungary, he refused to change his political course. It were the opposition politicians who draw attention to the danger of the revolution’s contaminating effect, and used it as an argument in their urging for the extension of suffrage rights.
