The study analyses the policy of the leadership of the Communist Party of Slovakia (CPS) to the communists of Hungarian nationality after February 1948. It examines the attitude of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (CPC) and CPS to the membership of people of Hungarian nationality in their ranks with an emphasis on the fact that significant questions in this area were decided on the level of the CPC leadership in Prague. The Communist Party of Slovakia, already only a regional organization of the CPC, consistently put these decisions into practice. The paper gives a picture of the formation and activity of the Hungarian Commission at the Central Committee of the CPS, which worked from November 1948 to October 1949.
The study is concerned with the activities of the Hungarian communist exiles in the period immediately following the fall of the Hungarian Soviet Republic in summer 1919. The term Hungarian communist exiles designates the specific ethno-political group composed of representatives and adherents of the fallen regime, who left Hungary after their military defeat and engaged in organizing the communist movement in other countries. They became important figures in building up the communist movement in Central Europe, especially in the former territories of the Kingdom of Hungary. Study of the broad theme is limited to the transmission of the communist ideology, organizing of the communist movement and the movement and activity of members of the Hungarian communist exile group in the Central European region, Czechoslovakia and especially Slovakia in the years of the so-called revolutionary wave, namely 1919 – 1921.
