Budapest Hungary Photos

The Andrassy boulevard (ut) was the other place of the 50th anniversary of the Budapest revolution of 1956. Andrassy Street is a 2 kilometers long street in Budapest from the Deak Ferenc ter to the Heroes Square in the middle of it there is the Octagon (Oktogon).

Just to understand what was this event all about. 23 of October is one of the biggest national holiday in Hungary. 50 years ago the Hungarians tried to wipe out the communism and Soviet dictatorship from Hungary, but they’ve failed. They did not get any help from USA or other Western European nations. So we had to wait up to 1998 to do so.
Just imagine the suppression in the communism there were no rights to the citizens to speak and do things freely or just go to Western Europe for holiday. We had to wait years to buy a new paper car called Trabant and made in the DDR Eastern Germany.

But the Hungarians wanted to be free and we were the first old country in the socialism who quit from Russia (Soviet Union) and the other eastern block countries followed us. Maybe you see the movies called “The Wall” about the Berlin Wall you can get the picture over it.

So the event was held over a distance of several hundred meters, starting from the Oktogon in the direction of Heroes’ Square.
