Nice bit of history.

Hungary also has a nice statue honoring Lt. Columbo (and his dog), as actor Peter Falk was Hungarian on his mother's side.

ANd there's an entire Zsa Zsa Gabor Museum in Hungary as well (I always favored Ava).

[Veto!]

My very pretty friend married a handsome man from Hungary a couple of decades older than she was. Charming man, great marriage. He should get a statue.

But Elvis? I detested him and his music. He’s an insult to hound dogs.

I'm more impressed with the Frank Zappa statue in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Peace in the valley.

Sebastian Gorka. Although the rebellion only lasted for a few days before it was crushed by the Soviet Army, it was enough time to free some political prisoners . Some of them escaped to the West. Two of them married each other and Sebastian Gorka was the result of that Union.

Budapeszt is a lovely city to visit. It actually looks like an imperial city with the monumental architecture.

Nearly half of all Hungarians live in Budapest I think
