Summary/Abstract: The perception of the Trianon Treaty in the communist period. Confrontation or harmony between two ideological currents? The general opinion of the Hungarian historians, Trianon finds a special place between the phenomenon of the rise of nationalism and the rise of Marxism, both arising in the context of world revolution. Nationalist interpretation of Hungary's neighbors, to the Trianon is justified, but is different from the negative interpretation of the Hungarians. They consider that the Trianon marked the setting free of the Danubian people from the yoke of tier, for them the peace process is the postulate of justice and truth. On the other hand, the Marxist interpretation of Trianon, especially the Soviet one, slipped out threw a big flexibility to the views of Westerners, although by then the Soviets strongly denunciated until then the peace process "imperialist-capitalist – bourgeoisie’ of Paris.
