FOR, AGAINST AND WITHOUT COMMUNISM<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Gy\u00f6rgy Dalos, born in Budapest in 1943 to Hungarian-Jewish parents, joined the Communist Youth League in the spring of 1960, he was suddenly surrounded by people his own age who saw themselves as the avant-garde of the post-war generation. This seemed to be the way out of the loneliness of being a Jew surrounded by the dead. The ardent communist was rewarded with a place at university in Moscow. But then everything turned out very differently.<\/p>\n

In his new book, the journalist and historian Dalos, who has been awarded the Leipzig Book Prize for European Understanding, traces the story of his life and at the same time the story of the great lie called real socialism from 1956 to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990. An unsparing retrospective.<\/p>\n
