Description

The Twentieth Congress of the Communist Party of Soviet Union and the Hungarian Uprising of 1956 were the most important events in the history of the international communist movement. This article analyses the impact of these two events on the socialist and communist movement in Britain. On one hand the communist intellectuals suggested the fundamental criticism of the Soviet communism and supported Hungarian people's resistance against the invasion of the Soviet army. On the other the leadership of CPGB supported the Soviet intervention in Hungary and did not attempt to reform the institution and policy of CPGB. Most communist intellectuals and some leaders of trade unions in Britain left the party. The inflexibility of the leadership invited the greatest crisis of CPGB.
