21 March 1919: The Hungarian Soviet Republic was founded—Led by Béla Kun, an associate of Lenin's, Hungarian Communists infiltrated the government of Mihály Károlyi through a stealth merger with the Social Democrats; Károlyi was cashiered &, on Lenin's orders received via radio, the Social Democrats, who enjoyed far more popular support than the Communists, were violently purged.
Lest we forget.
