Horrible regime: the GDR in Germany. DDR.
Their releases in music.

Yes, Balint, in the seventies I've red quite a lot of Lenins writings as I wanted to discuss with communists. These communists -then- said ( just as they did after Lenin died and Stalin took over) : " Lenin, please come back, they're all gone mad". Funny, isn't it? I know that Hungary happened to be a particular case in post world war 2 European history. My aim has always been to add some civilisation to capitalism, grown mad. Now - in EU - it's about combatting the far right. Furher disclosure. Yes, Balint, in the seventies I’ve red quite a lot of Lenins writings as I wanted to discuss with communists.
