...were responding to the reiterated Communist propaganda that they were agents of the Horthy counterrevolution by addressing each other ironically as Baron, Count and Lord Bishop. It was said that those workers who had remained loyal to the People's Democracy-all six of them-had formed the Kadar government. There were grim jokes about children not getting their milk unless they surrendered their arms...
Dividing to Conquer. The slogan of the Kadar regime is "Order, Peace and Collaboration," but its strategy has been to divide the country by cracking down hard on industrial workers and intellectuals and building up the peasantry, who gave the Russians relatively the least trouble last October.

The visitors' only prize was a woman whose husband had failed to make good his escape: she wanted to go back to join him, Kadar or no Kadar. While the delegates talked to her, the crowd outside burned the banner with its Kadar effigy, stamped on it, spat on it. The cry rang out: "Menjetek a pokolba" (Go to hell!). Only fast work by their driver saved the Communists on their getaway. Again, screaming refugees...
