The Workers' State: Industrial Labor and the Making of Socialist Hungary, 1944–1958
National Socialism and the Production of German-Hungarian Borderland Space on the Eve of the Second World War
Under the terms of the Munich agreement in October 1938, Germany (which since the Anschluss seven months earlier had expanded to include Austria) annexed the town of Petržalka from Czechoslovakia. Located less than forty miles east of Vienna and a mere fifteen miles from the Hungarian border, it had been part of the conurbation of Bratislava, Hungary’s historic capital but since 1919 the capital of Slovakia. Petržalka flanked the southern side of…
Resistance, Rebellion and Revolution in Hungary and Central Europe: Commemorating 1956
The fiftieth anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 produced a multitude of conferences both in Hungary and elsewhere, and the volume currently under review is the product of one of them, held in September 2006 at University College London's School of Slavonic and East European Studies. Many of these conferences and the publications that surrounded the anniversary generated more heat than light, for they suggested limited innovation in t…
Making Peace in the Shadow of War: The Austrian–Hungarian Borderlands, 1945–1956
This article examines the process of state reconstruction in Austria and Hungary's borderlands that followed the Second World War. This process of state reconstruction was also a process of pacification, as it represented an attempt to (re)build states on the foundations of the military settlement of the war. The construction of legitimate state authority was at its most successful on the Austrian side of the border, where political actors were a…
In Defense of Christian Hungary: Religion, Nationalism and Anti-Semitism, 1890 1944
FOR most of the twentieth century, Hungarian civil society has been fractured by sharp political conflict over the very meaning of the nation. The traumatic outcome of the First World War characterised by revolution, counter-revolution and losses of territory opened an era of intense political polarisation along left-right lines. This polarisation underpinned the country's entanglement in the Second World War, the Holocaust of the country's Jewis…
Creating and Domesticating Hungary’s Socialist Industrial Landscape: From Dunapentele to Sztálinváros, 1950–1958
Introduction: Workers and Socialist States in Postwar Central and Eastern Europe
The essays in this special issue by Jack R. Friedman, Sándor Horváth, Peter Heumos, and Eszter Zsófia Tóth, reflect a growing interest in the social history of industrial labor and industrial communities in postwar Central and Eastern Europe. While they approach their subjects in different ways and employing distinct methodologies, the essays suggest how the history of the working class and its relationship to postwar socialist state formation ac…
The Politics of Legitimacy and Hungary's Postwar Transition
This article presents a re-examination of Hungary's postwar transition from the perspective of the politics of legitimacy that were deployed by the various significant political actors. It argues that postwar state formation following Soviet occupation and legitimacy were closely connected. Hungary's communists and their allies aimed to create a state based on the ideological formula of ‘people's democracy’, which in the Hungarian context led the…
The education of dissent: The reception of the Voice of Free Hungary, 1951–56
Within the cultural history of the Cold War some attention has been paid to the history of western broadcasting to Soviet bloc countries in Central and Eastern Europe. Most of this work has concentrated on the institutional histories of individual radio stations and their relationships to politics. Little or no systematic attention has, however, been paid to the reception of those radio stations in their target societies. This article, which conc…

The Reproduction of Hierarchy: Skill, Working-Class Culture, and the State in Early Socialist Hungary
For a sample of this work in both English and Hungarian, see Eleme r Hankiss, East That Ra kosi's dictatorship, like its Stalinist counterparts across East-Central Europe, was despotic is beyond doubt. It is undeniable that it employed considerable repression in the pursuit of its policies. It is also clear that it initiated radical social change that was bitterly opposed by many of those affected. Agricultural cooperatives were created; peasants…
The Social Limits of State Control: Time, the Industrial Wage Relation, and Social Identity in Stalinist Hungary, 1948-1953
The article argues that the Stalinist state in post-war Hungary aimed to use the wage relation as a central component of its policies to rationalise the organisation of production in industry. It attempted this by trying to discipline workers through the introduction of a form of "payment by results" which subordinated the workforce to the discipline of "clock time." In complete contrast to state intentions, the planned economy developed its own …
