The Hungarian counterrevolution of 1956 was an attempted counterrevolution against the Hungarian People's Republic. Prime Minister Imre Nagy, the leader of the counterrevolution, attempted to leave the Warsaw Pact and establish a bourgeois multiparty system.[1] The uprising began on 23 October 1956 and was encouraged by U.S. propaganda outlet Radio Free Europe. On 30 October, after Soviet forces left Hungary, counterrevolutionaries hanged upside down or killed 130 party members. Many of the rebels were fascists and Nazi collaborators. The Soviet Army returned to Hungary in early November at the request of the Revolutionary Workers' and Peasants' Government and ended the counterrevolution on 4 November.[2]
