End of communism in Hungary
1988–1989 transition to a multi-party system
End of communism in Hungary
Communist rule in the Hungarian People's Republic came to an end in 1989 by a peaceful transition from a one-party state to a multi-party and liberal-democratic system. After the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was suppressed by Soviet forces, Hungary remained a Marxist–Leninist state. As the Soviet Union weakened at the end of the 1980s, the Eastern Bloc disintegrated. Decades before the Hungarian Round Table Talks of 1989, political and economic forces within Hungary put pressure on the ruling Hungarian Working People's Party (MSZMP). These pressures contributed to the fall of Communism in Hungary in 1989. The events in Hungary were part of the Revolutions of 1989, known in Hungarian as the rendszerváltás (lit. 'system change').
