Selected text
In 1917 the revolution [2] took place in Russia. The Hungarians who were in Russian captivity during World War I and stayed there during the Soviet regime learned the program of the Soviet regime and the Soviet ways. When they were allowed to leave Russia, they decided to follow the way of the Soviets: land to the peasants and plants to workers.
These slogans were inspiring people. Masses of common people supported the socialist regime and the socialist program. This was how democratic [communist] power came to Hungary [cf. Hungarian Soviet Republic] [3]. There were many Jews in the government. I think that in their majority Jews were disposed to internationalism rather than nationalism and chauvinism and many Jews supported this power.
