IN THE ENSLAVED HUNGARY. THE NO-DO’S REPORTS ABOUT THE HUNGARIAN REVOLUTION OF 1956

Abstract

The revolution of 23 October 1956 and the subsequent armed uprising was one of the most important events in the history of Hungary in the 20th century, which had a significant international repercussion as well. The aim of the present study is to investigate and analyse the NO-DO reports on the political, war and social events and on the various consequences of the revolution, and by doing so to highlight the main elements of the Francoist propaganda in terms of the interpretation and presentation (especially ideological) of the events. Through the research we can get a clearer picture of how Francoist Spain viewed the countries of Eastern Europe and what happened in this region, that is, how the dictatorship fitted it into its worldview, which allows us to know and understand more deeply the functioning of the regime in the field of ideology and propaganda.
