RED PRIMER for CHILDREN AND DIPLOMATS

by VICTOR VASHI

October 2S, 1956

The dust had barely settled in Poland when the Hungarian people borrowed the idea of a Glorioui October Revolution from their Soviet friends.

But Lenin had said that revolutions are not exportable. So the great Soviet friend of the Hungarian people crushed, very efficiently, a stubborn band of “Western agents" fighting with smuggled "Western weapons."

Thanks to the tanks of the glorious Soviet Army, peace was restored in Hungary and all was quiet again on the Eastern Front.

A large scale cultural exchange was begun to re-cducatc the Hungarian people. Transportation to the famous Soviet educational system was free, and the trains are still rolling.

Cultural exchange between East and West was becoming a reality shortly after the execution of Imre Nagy, Hungary’s Prime Minister during the revolt. Nagy had asked for Western intervention, but only the Russians cared enough to intervene. Time erases most bad memories, however, and before long artists and tourists swarmed back and forth across the borders.

TJic heroic Red Army took every opportunity to spread culture and persuade the newly liberated peoples to give up immoral capitalism. Much was accomplished fur when one begins to liberate, it’s bard to stop.
