The fact that the Hungarian freedom fighters of 1956 were called fascists in Russian history textbooks made a big splash in the press. Of course, the news has since turned out to be a huge hoax, but it's worth looking at where the fake news started.
Right-wing and left-wing media reported the incident with outrage, until it was revealed that the whole thing was just a hoax, a hoax, launched by the Russian opposition news portal Meduza, edited in Poland. The news was directly denied by the Russian embassy.
So we took the bait, but it's worth looking at who put it in the Hungarian media sea. Well, Ádám Kolozsi took the news for the first time in our country (sold as his own discovery), who is none other than the son of Ildikó Lendvai.
The assessment of the 1956 War of Independence has been a sensitive topic in Russian-Hungarian relations for decades. It is clear, because according to the Russian imperial thinking, they were protecting their own interests, which, although true, does not change anything from the Hungarian point of view about the cruel and unforgivable process by which they defeated our purest revolution. The answer to this question is to listen. The Russians simply don't mention it, and even try to forget it with us (unsuccessfully).
That is why, from the moment the trouble broke out, it was extremely unlikely that a textbook would have tackled the subject so sharply.
It is particularly important for the Russians to maintain normal relations with us at the moment. And our energy security is important to us, which, like it or not, currently depends on Russia. That is why it is interesting that the left is doing everything it can to destroy this relationship, since they would achieve nothing else than pushing our country into an economic crisis.
This is done by the same people who previously did everything to prevent us from replacing our energy dependence with alternative sources. Do we still remember how much Nabucco stung the eyes of the left? Among others, Ildikó Lendvai, who, along with Gyurcsány, did not object to the Russian relations even a little, and before the regime change, he probably even thanked his friends in Moscow for being kind enough to crush a revolution and get him a fat job in the censorship office.
And now it is her son who is spreading fake news and agitating against those with whom his mother still had a particularly good relationship.
How surprising! Well, the apple and its tree.
