In his volumes, the author draws attention to artists, musicians, singers and writers whom he calls “comrades” in the conquest of culture. The conversation also mentions Géza Hovey, Zoza Kuntsch and János Brody.
Host Eva Andor said in her introduction that Gábor Mizo had long been researching how to save the structures created in Rakosi and then Kadar eras after the regime change. The Secret History of the Decline of Media And also his previously published book entitled When asked whether he finds it plausible that these structures still exist in Hungarian public life today, the researcher explained:
It can be said with certainty that they are here and working, and we can see the effect. It is clear that this generation is already outdated and less influential. For example, László Jost can only incite and provoke in his own style on Facebook, as does Tamás Vetrai, who also belongs to the older generation. This kind of company is always a little depressed, “We dare to be small!”, We dare not show our faith and patriotism, it has been radiating a sense of life. I think this has been passed on to quite a few
Gabor Mizo pointed out.
The broadcaster said that in his opinion, nowadays, many non-TV, social platforms and downloadable interfaces can have a very big impact, and Gabor Mizo stated that regardless of that, he is very happy that the two mentioned people are no longer online. Any TV channel. According to him, these people have carried out immeasurably harmful activities on television for decades. He stated that he was glad that Nap TV no longer existed and that the neighbors had also disappeared from the screen.
Referring to the author’s books, Eva Andor said that they are about musicians, artists and people working in different jobs who suddenly realized after the regime change that they were disrupting socialism from within, they were resisting and, while this was far from happening, they were the ones standing out from the dictatorship. Now they advertise themselves as an independent lens. The researcher calls them their fellow passengers. Gabor Mizo explained:
In fact, the biggest problem is with those who were beneficiaries of the regime, who lived communism and socialism, and then at the moment of regime change, they quickly changed their jackets and often put the SZDSZ badge on them. They suddenly became liberals and Democrats. The biggest problem is that they later pretended to be rebels when they were not. The most famous examples are Zsuzsa Koncz and János Bródy, because they are the ones who do it very loudly. I think this is a falsification of history.
I can better accept people who were and are communists or leftists. For example, Andras Schäfer was a leftist all his life. He never became, for example, a globalist or an extreme liberal. It was also formed during his lifetime, but remained where it was. “Obviously I don’t agree with him regarding Marxism as relatively legitimate, but I still consider him an original person,” the journalist said.
Gábor Mizo also said that during the Kádár era, Hungary seemed the most cheerful barracks compared to the surrounding countries, because the authorities allowed it, creating the illusion of freedom. Censorship was also called “nail-trimming”, as there was no need to police the field of humor violently, for example, because Janos Comlos and Hovey knew exactly how far they could go, as they were both “trustworthy people”. They pretended to have a lot of freedom, which made everyone think that there could actually be more in Hungary than in, say, Romania.
There were countless former ÁVH members who ran television, radio and publishing houses, who did not need to be told what was and was not allowed, because they knew it themselves and followed it. This was the case, for example, with István Haras, the head of the radio station, who was supposedly doing well professionally because he did not interfere much, but documents prove that he conducted surveillance on the New Year’s Eve club in which Hovi and Komlos appeared.
“And now we hear that they are lying about the past again, and that there was no censorship, just self-censorship, and I can tell you that there is evidence of that happening, then maybe we can just shut up a little and stop lying,” the researcher noted.
When Eva Andor asked why the seemingly innocent Neighbors series was harmful, Gabor Mizo explained:
This neighbor wasn’t Kagan’s old world, it was Broly’s old world, he always presented everything from his point of view. “Don’t try too hard, stay on your ass and complain” – this has always worked. Rich and successful people are always skeptical, foolish, and perhaps even generally deceitful. He spread a communist-socialist vision of life, but not because it was dangerous, but because it was endlessly depressing and depressing. He declared that nothing had changed with the regime change, but rather things had become worse
– Gabor Mezzo stated.
