About
Béla Kun was a Hungarian revolutionary who led the Hungarian Soviet Republic in 1919. Following the fall of the Hungarian revolution, Kun emigrated to the Soviet Union, where he worked as a functionary in the Communist International bureaucracy. During the Great Purge of the late 1930s, Kun was arrested, interrogated, tried, and executed in quick succession. He was posthumously rehabilitated in 1956, following the death of Joseph Stalin and the critical reassessment of Stalinism. He was educated at the Calvinist College in Zalău and a famous Reformed kollegium in the city of Kolozsvár. At the kollegium Kun won the prize for best essay on Hungarian literature that allowed him to attend a gymnasium.
