The Hungarian Uprising

Imre Nagy
Nikita Khrushchev asked Imre Nagy to become the Hungarian Prime Minister. Nagy was a communist, but he was viewed as more liberal and open than Rakosi
1956, Hungarian people began demonstrating on the streets and pulled down statues of Stalin. There had been food shortages and a year of bad harvests due to adverse weather. This seems to be what triggered the protests

Janos Kadar
Hungary then adopted something called the '15 Point Programme'. This aimed to reverse Nagy's suggestions and tighten up communist control in Hungary
After Nagy was overthrown, Janos Kadar became the Prime Minister of Hungary, appointed by Khrushchev and the Soviet Politburo (leadership committee)
Kadar was more moderate than other satellite state leaders, like Josip Tito in Yugoslavia
