Abstract

Summary/Abstract: Based on the diplomatic reports of US representatives in Belgrade and Zagreb, as well as the British diplomatic cables and newspaper articles to which foreign diplomats are referring, the article gives a reconstruction of the Yugoslav government officials’ day-by-day reaction to the events in Hungary from October and November 1956. It shows pragmatic adaptation in the Yugoslav stance on the “October Revolution” in Hungary in 1956, the Yugoslav party giving US diplomats excuses for their choices, the commentary in Washington.
