Summary/Abstract: The fragment of the memoirs written by I. A. Makhanov, the chief designer of artillery weapons of the Kirov plant, allows us to trace the fate of the Hungarian communist community in the USSR. The memoirist reports many interesting facts and details on some Hungarian communists during the Great Terror. The author of the memoirs, I. A. Makhanov supposed that I. V. Stalin physically destroyed the leaders of the Hungarian communist movement, and drove the Russian proletariat and peasantry to slavery and serfdom – a severe blow to the communist movement, from which it could not recover.
