Answer:
Imre Nagy was a Hungarian politician, who served as prime minister during the communist period.
He was born into a poor peasant family. He entered in the Social Democratic Party of Hungary to adhere later to the Marxist ideology, participating in 1919 in the government of Bela Kun.
In 1944 after the defeat of the Nazis and 15 years of exile in the USSR, he returned to his country to be part of the new popular government in Hungary.
In his time as a member of the Hungarian government, he held various positions, such as Minister of Agriculture (1944-1945), Minister of the Interior (1945-1946) and President of the National Assembly (1947) until in 1949, because of the harsh criticism of the Party for its agrarian policy, was expelled from the Politburo. In 1951, after a public renunciation of his criticisms, he was admitted again until he became the Prime Minister after Stalin's death.
Imre Nagy began to carry out a process of political and economic relaxation, which reached dangerous extremes for the system itself. In 1956, the new Soviet government did not welcome the Hungarian reforms, which could lead to total political instability, and there were a series of revolts throughout the country, also fueled by the de-Stalinization events in the same Soviet Union. The crisis also acquired a political angle, and reached an untenable point for Nagy, when Janos Kadar resigned due to the prevailing situation, and on November 1 formed the Hungarian Socialist Workers Party, for four days later to appoint a "Revolutionary, Worker and Peasant" provisional government, while the Red Army troops entered Budapest.
Nagy took refuge that same day in the embassy of Yugoslavia where he was offered protection. Days later he left the embassy and was deported to Romania on November 23. After almost two years of detention and after processing him in a secret trial, he was sentenced to death and executed on June 16, 1958, at 62 years of age.
