Really? You’re gonna try that as a response? I would think Hungary has more fear from Russia being a threat considering their past history. And truthfully, I think there is way more to fear from Islam and our own president than Russia right now.

Filtering through an old photograph album with personal family memorabilia, I came across a few pages of a very delicate, brittle and yellowed newspaper article dated Dec. 9, 1956.

The article detailed certain events which took place during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution from the first hand perspective of a Russian Security Police Captain.

Not sure if this 58 year old article is of any interest to FR readers, however, given the situation in the Ukraine, it may provide some interesting historic details.

Source is a NY Paper: The Sunday News, December 9, 1956, Page 112

It is titled "I Herded Hungarians"

"In the weeks since the Russians crushed the rebellion in Hungary, reports of mass deportations of Hungarian patriots persist in spite of Soviet denials. From a source which THE NEWS considers reliable comes a firs-hand account of how the Red terror operates when its authority is challenged. Anatoli Privalkin, who was a captain in the Soviet security forces, was assigned to the first prison train of deportees sent from Hungary to Russia. Sickened by what he saw, Privalkin defected on a subsequent assignment to Sofia, Bulgaria and fled to Yugoslavia. His eyewitness story follows. "
