In retrospect, it is clear that Kádár was appointed Minister of the Interior with the deliberate aim to involve him in the " show trial " of Laszlo Rajk, although the investigations and proceedings were handled by the State Security Agency with the active participation of the Soviet Secret Police.

Kádár concluded that he had been fooled by the capitalists and therefore offered his resignation from active politics.

Władysław Gomułka and János Kádár were less concerned with the reforms themselves than with the growing criticisms leveled by the Czechoslovak media, and worried the situation might be " similar to the prologue of the Hungarian counterrevolution ".

On October 25, 1956, he sent a telegram to the U. S. embassy in Belgrade expressing his fears that the Imre Nagy-János Kádár government might take " reprisals " against the Hungarian " freedom fighters ".

Nearly a decade after stricter state control following the Soviet invasion suppressing the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 ( including the execution of leader Imre Nagy ), János Kádár introduced Goulash Communism which led to a less repressive era.

The 268-page Committee Report was presented to the General Assembly in June 1957, documenting the course of the uprising and Soviet intervention, and concluding that " the Kádár government and Soviet occupation were in violation of the human rights of the Hungarian people.

* János Kádár – Hungarian politician

It was organised from elements of the Hungarian Working People's Party during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, with János Kádár as general secretary.

János Kádár ( 26 May 1912 – 6 July 1989 ) was a Hungarian communist leader and the General Secretary of the Hungarian Socialist Workers ' Party, presiding over the country from 1956 until his retirement in 1988.

In prison Kádár met with Mátyás Rákosi, a commissar of the Hungarian Soviet Republic and a renowned political prisoner.

While at the beginning Kádár was against such an idea, the idea grew on him and came to the conclusion that instead of dissolving the party, he would pretend to dissolve it and rename the party which would effectively throw the Hungarian authorities off their trail.

Kádár became a prominent figure during the period between the 1945 and the 1947 Hungarian parliamentary elections.

Kádár had evolved a sense of rivalry with the Social Democratic Party of Hungary, claiming the party was " thrashing " them in government, and that they made it impossible for the Communists to negotiate policy with the Hungarian trade unions.

He was appointed deputy because of social and ethnic background, the majority of the leadership were of Jewish origins and were intellectuals, Kádár was however a Hungarian worker.

The Hungarian leadership decided to call him, asking Kádár to meet them at the party headquarters, when leaving his home he was stopped by ÁVH officers and the ÁVH head Gábor Péter.

In early 1989, as Grósz and his associates in turn were being sidelined by a faction of young " radical reformers " of the Hungarian communist party who set out to dismantle the socialist system, Kádár, his health visibly failing, was officially removed from office.

On October 25, 1956, he sent a telegram to the US embassy in Belgrade expressing his fears that the Imre Nagy-János Kádár government might take “ reprisals ” against the Hungarian “ freedom fighters .” By the next day, October 26, State Department officials in Washington assumed the worst about Nagy, asserting in a top secret memorandum: “ Nagy's appeal for Soviet troops indicates, at least superficially, that there are not any open differences between the Soviet and Hungarian governments .”

For the show trial of Hungarian Interior Minister János Kádár, who one year earlier had attempted to force a confession of Rajk in his show trial, regarding " Vladimir " the questioner of Kádár:

While at the helm of the People's Republic of Hungary, Kádár pushed for an improvement in the standard of living.

After quitting school, Kádár joined the Communist Party of Hungary's youth organisation, KIMSZ.

After being released from prison for good, some former party activists made contact with him and instructed Kádár to infiltrate the Social Democratic Party with them.

At the beginning of its refounding, the party liked to use members without any police records, therefor Kádár was given more responsibilities within the infiltration of the Social Democratic Party.

As early as May 1942, Kádár became a member of the newly formed Central Committee of the Communist Party, mostly due to the lack of personnel, seeing that the majority of them had been sent to prison.

After the Soviet liberation of Hungary, the Soviet-Hungarian Communist leadership sent Zoltán Vas and the new Soviet approved Central Committee of the Communist Party of Hungary ; Kádár became a member of this so-called " new " committee.

At the 3rd Congress of the Communist Party of Hungary, Kádár was appointed one of Rákosi's two deputies.

Kádár, as in 1946, was a Communist Party campaigner, and was described by historian Robert Gough as " a great success ".

He eventually gave up and in one letter Kádár even admitted to his faults ; claiming that he was still " politically backward " and " ideologically untrained " when he headed the pre-war Communist Party as First Secretary.

János Kádár ( fourth in the first row ) in the 8th Congress of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany ( East Berlin, 1971 ).

Kádár was named instead to the rather ceremonial position of Party President.

In November 1956 he joined the Hungarian Socialist Workers ' Party ( MSzMP ) established by János Kádár to lead the crushing of the 1956 Hungarian revolution against Soviet occupation and communist rule.

In an effort to continue their actions, Hungarian Communists under János Kádár founded a new party, dubbed the Peace Party, as a replacement for the KMP.

In the summer of 1987, when the highest party and state offices ' major personnel changes were made ( although most senior official only got another post, the same cadres stayed ), Lázár was appointed Deputy Secretary-General of the Hungarian Socialist Workers ' Party ( i. e. deputy for Kádár ).

At the same time, Kádár probably hoped to establish better, and stronger, relations with the USSR ; something they had been trying to do since 1942.

Szálasi's policies had an immediate effect on Kádár ; he had emptied the prison Kádár lived in and sent them to concentration camps.

The Soviet troops stationed in Hungary committed mass rapes and pillaged Budapest and the countryside, Kádár, when writing a letter to the Ministry of the Interior, he wrote ; " the Soviet command caused really big difficulties in our work, especially in the beginning, and they still do ".

This event didn't assure Kádár ; making him doubt if any of the accusation leveled against his co-workers were true.

It is believed that after Rajk's death Kádár was seen vomiting ; these rumours have not been confirmed by any sources from that time.
