EDITORS COMMENTS
"La Nouvelle Europe: The Bolsheviks in Hungary - A First Attempt at Communism in Budapest, December 1918: Count Karolyi Haranguing the Armed Forces from a Window of the Palace to Demand the Resignation of Colonel Albert Bartha, Minister of War, and His Replacement by Commissar József Pogány" This photograph captures a pivotal moment in Hungarian history during the aftermath of World War I. The image, titled "La Nouvelle Europe: The Bolsheviks in Hungary - A First Attempt at Communism in Budapest," was published in "L'Illustration," a French weekly magazine, in 1924. The scene unfolds at a Budapest palace, where Count Mihaly Karolyi, the Prime Minister of the First Hungarian Republic, is seen addressing a group of armed forces through a window. The soldiers, likely demanding the resignation of Minister of War Colonel Albert Bartha and his replacement with Commissar József Pogány, a Marxist, are shown below, their expressions tense and determined. Count Karolyi, a central figure in Hungarian politics during this period, is depicted with a serious expression, leaning forward as if passionately speaking to the soldiers. The commotion outside the palace was a result of the political crisis that engulfed Hungary following the end of World War I, as various factions vied for power and influence. The photograph offers a glimpse into the tumultuous postwar period, a time marked by political instability, ideological upheaval, and the rise of communist movements across Europe. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and often chaotic nature of the early 20th century, a time when the old order was being challenged and new ideologies were emerging. The photograph's provenance is unknown, but it is believed to have been taken in December 1918, making it an important historical document that sheds light on a critical moment in Hungarian and European history.
