Another 20.000 were deported to the Soviet Union. many were never heard from again. Others were imprisoned under the orders of Janos Kadar. At least 500 were executed. In the aftermath of the shortlived revolution. 200.000 refugees fled the repressive regime of Kadar. a puppet installed by the Kremlin. Tens of thousands of others lost their lives in the carnage. Nagy and his close associates. including Pal Maleter and Miklos Gimes. were executed in June 1958 and burried in graves which to this day have remained unmarked.
