Changes in the Hungarian Political System from 1988 to 1990

The goal of this study is to view the most important political and economic events of 1988-90, which played a crucial role in the change of regime in Hungary and outline them as if they were seen through several cameras at the same time. One of the lenses is that of the analyzing theoretician. The other one is that of an S-VHS camera held by the Black Box, the first Hungarian video magazine, the collaborators of which undertook the factual documentation of the events throughout these years. The third is one man’s subjective camera, the reminiscences of László Pesty, a witness of history, who often risked serious danger to record the events of these years.
