The entire free world was shaken and revolted by the actions of the Russians. Now. 10 years later. much of the emotion inspired by these events has subsided and the true significance of those 2 weeks can be examined. The Hungarian revolution did not fire the minds and hearts of men so much because it was a revolt against communism. or because of the courage of the Hungarians. or because of the Russians brutality. or because of the refugees plight in the aftermath. The true glory. and meaning. of the Hungarian revolution lies in its affirmation of the love of freedom as intrinsic to man. The revolution was begun by young people in their teens and early twenties who had been babes when the Communists took over Hungary after the war. and who had therefore never known freedom.
