Summary/Abstract: Despite the controversial character of events in Hungary in the autumn of 1956, the violent approach to resolving the problem adopted by the Soviet leadership was in a sharp contradiction to international law and clearly demostrated to the world the limits of Khrushchev’s XXth Congress rhetoric about rejecting Stalinist political practice and accepting a variety of paths to socialism. The USSR’s action in Hungary also had a negative impact on its international prestige, showing the inability of Soviet leaders to break completely with their Stalinist legacy in foreign policy. Imre Nagy had been detained in Romania after his fall.
