According to Wikipedia, 23 October, 1956 to 10 November, 1956.<br /><br />I'm guessing the 1966 date is from the release of political prisoners and the return of refugees to Hungary.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542931247957198888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-70387548310633738422012-02-22T21:24:53.409-05:002012-02-22T21:24:53.409-05:00It's very pretty with the snow.

The dates 1956-66 kept popping up, but I couldn't pin point anything. So, the short answer, no it didn't go on for 10 years, but he problems between the Soviets and China did and I guess Hungary was caught in the middle.VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-61904457981039080072012-02-22T05:30:56.666-05:002012-02-22T05:30:56.666-05:00I agree that the scene is well balanced and that t...I agree that the scene is well balanced and that the snow softens everything.<br /><br />What I am interested in though, is the dedication on the obelisk. It says 1956 to 1966. I think that the Hungarian uprising was in 1956, but I did not realise that it went for ten years. Is that so? Did it go for ten years? I thought somehow, that the Hungarian people rose up against their communist (Russian or USSR) oppressors, but within a few weeks it had been quelled by overwhelming military might.<br /><br />I would love to know more.
