A statue of Imre Nagy (1896 – 1958) seems to look wistfully towards the Hungarian Parliament. Nagy became Prime Minister during the nation’s Communist period but was demoted when he sought to limit the Party’s power. During the 1956 uprising, he attempted to build a bridge between totalitarian Moscow and Western freedom, but was jailed, executed, and buried face down in an unmarked grave. During the 1989 fall of communism in Eastern Bloc countries, his body was exhumed and he was given the burial of a hero.
