Mátyás Rákosi
Mátyás Rákosi was a key figure in the post-World War II Hungarian Communist Party, serving as its leader and the de facto head of the Hungarian government from 1945 to 1956. A staunch ally of Joseph Stalin, Rákosi implemented strict Stalinist policies in Hungary, which included political purges and the suppression of dissent. His authoritarian rule was characterized by the use of state terror and propaganda, leading to widespread discontent that eventually contributed to the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. Rákosi's legacy is marked by his role in establishing a repressive regime that stifled freedom and opposition.
