Agents of Moscow

"After 1945 the Hungarian Communist Party (MKP) presented itself as heir to national traditions and guardian of national interests. The source of this 'national policy' did not lie in Hungary, but in Moscow. Following the German invasion of 1941 Stalin had ordered the parties of the Comintern to issue the call for national liberation." "In the end, the Soviet beginnings of the national policy also proved its undoing. The Hungarian communists never rid themselves of the label 'agents of Moscow'. But as all European parties followed the Comintern's national line, the Soviet origins of the policy do mean that this important and successful work of research is highly relevant to the history of all the Soviet satellite states."--BOOK JACKET.
