Without outside assistance the revolution was doomed to disaster. The aftermath of the October revolution brought renewed hardship and oppression to the Hungarian people. Budapest. once a beautiful city. was reduced to ruins. A Stalinisttype of regime under Janos Kadar was imposed upon the Hungarian people by the Soviet Union. The transitory freedom that the Hungarians had enjoyed. although limited in scope. came to an abrupt end. And across the AustroHungarian border poured over 170.000 refugees in search of freedom. Soviet intervention in Hungary exposed the Soviet Union once again before the whole world. Even the faith of members of the Communist parties in other countries was shaken.
