Abstract

Radio occupied multiple broadcast, diplomatic and cultural terrains during the course of the Hungarian uprising. Broadcasters, and the authorities that stood behind them on both sides of the Iron Curtain mapped, interpreted and, at times, appeared to direct the course of events on the ground. The BBC Monitoring Service Transcription Collection offers a vital and unexplored perspective on developments on the ground during the Hungarian uprising, in the context of the wider political warfare battle of the cold war.
