Under the counter-revolutionary regime that followed the Soviet Republic, those who did not flee abroad were prosecuted for “serving” the regime during the proletarian dictatorship. In the one-party system after 1945, which was sympathetic to the Soviet Republic, these procedures were viewed extremely negatively and described as a means of retaliation. A reassessment of the topic has begun in the present day. In this paper, I will evaluate the trials of two leaders of the proletarian dictatorship in Veszprém County, examining whether the proceedings and the verdicts in their cases were in accordance with the law in force, or whether there was a conceptual character to these proceedings.
