Content and Structure

Scope and Content (Abstract)

Hegedüs did not preserve his correspondence in an organized way. He selected only a few of his letters to be kept separately. The archives followed this principle and treated only a small part of his correspondence as being important enough to be filed separately. Most of the letters of this series date from the most critical period of his life in Moscow, 1956-1958. This was the time when he wrote letters to Khruschev, Rákosi, Gerő, to the Central Committee of newly established MSZMP and to the Soviet Communist Party. In addition, the protest letter against the 1968 Czechoslovak intervention that he addressed to the Politburo of MSZMP is of outstanding importance.
