Controversial Russian History Textbook Ignites Dispute Over Budapest Uprising

The media got access to a draft version of a new Russian history textbook, which also focuses on the uprising in Budapest in 1956.

The media got access to a draft version of a new Russian history textbook, which also focuses on the uprising in Budapest in 1956. However, Russian historians characterized all these events as well-planned actions of Western intelligence services, and the rebels themselves were called “radicals.”

The draft version of the history textbook caused a scandal in Hungary itself, informs the channel “Ukraine 365“.

It is known that Vladimir Medinsky, assistant to the President of the Russian Federation, and historian Anatoly Torkunov worked on the history textbook.

In the history textbook, the events of 1956 are shown as the “Hungarian crisis” caused by the actions of the internal opposition and Western intelligence agencies.

The “rebellious radicals” consisted of former fighters from “fascist Hungary,” the textbook says. They also showed vandalism against monuments to Soviet soldiers. They also allegedly killed representatives of law enforcement agencies and ordinary citizens of Hungary.

Hungarian Foreign Ministry spokesman Tamas Menzer stressed that the events of 1956 were not a “fascist uprising.” In that year, the population of the country rebelled against the communists, and this is a fact.

Marton Tomposh from the Momentum Movement party invited the Russian ambassador to the House of Terror Museum, which is dedicated to the events of 1956.

The Russian ambassador to Hungary, Yevgeny Stanislavov, said that the Meduza agency, which specializes in spreading “anti-Russian fakes,” posted this material on the Web.

The diplomat said that this is one of the draft versions of the future history textbook, allegedly there are about 10 such draft textbooks. At the same time, the 1956 uprising of 1956 is not called “fascist” in any of the textbooks.

Stanislavov called all the events around the history textbook “spoiled telephone”.

He also refused to visit the House of Terror Museum, as he knows its exposition well.

Earlier, Nevzorov criticized Chubaryan’s history textbook, which tells about Ukraine, which itself attacked Russia.

Recall, military expert Tamar urged not to be afraid of the number of Russian troops in Ukraine, as history teaches the opposite.
