formed on 27 October. The leading revisionist group in Borsod together with the revisionists of the workers’ councils at workshops being an active party set up the third County Workers’ Council. This workers’ council took up the same stand in fundamental questions as the Nagy-Losonczy group, but it differed from it in two issues: its power was based on the system of the workers’ councils at workshops, and it strove to restrict the powers of bourgeois parties.

On 25—26 October the workers’ councils were formed at all workshops of the county, and they had swung to the right in quick time by 29 October. The raising of the third county workers’ council to power, however, strengthened the position of revizio- nists in the workers’ councils at factories temporarily.

The system of regional — district and village — workers’ councils was built up between 26 and 29 October. The workers’ councils of larger villages (districts) were bodies of the anti-communists and the extreme right. In their leadership the prominent part was generally taken by groups of the civil service. The workers’ councils in smaller villages were formed either on the initiative of counter-revolutionary organizing groups going round in the county or by being ordered in an administrative way. Their political part was not considerable.
