Title The Consequences of De-Stalinization in Eastern Europe: The Comparative Analysis of the Hungarian Revolution and Prague Spring
Summary In the thesis, the causes and effects of Hungarian Revolution and Prague Spring are not represented as two historical non-interactive blocs. The historical forces in the crises, the evolution of communism, the changing rationale of the Soviet leaderships on reformism, the reciprocal historical process in the Eastern Europe and the effect of the ever-changing international realities are crucially important in the historical analysis. The diverse actors, the overlapping and conflicting interests and motivations, the causes of intra-party rivalries, the reasons of the resentiment and resistance and the ill-balance between masses, indigenous party elites and the Soviet Presidium are the central evaluation points in my multileveled comparative analysis.
