Abstract:
In my article, I would like to answer the question of what effect the political changes in the Soviet Union and Hungary, which took place as a result of Stalin's death, had on the case of Gábor Péter and his co-accused. In doing so, I try to reveal the process and methods of transferring responsibility to Péter, with the help of which Rákosi was able to avoid a political downfall for a certain period of time, as well as not having to face its criminal consequences. In my analysis, I also try to reveal how in the Péter case, as a result of individual historical turns, the constructed accusations were gradually replaced by substantiated accusations based on crimes that had actually been committed.
