   Rent from DeepDyve Rent from DeepDyve
   History Returns, with a Vengeance
   Shlomo Avineri

   Abstract

   Abstract:

   In March 1990, I served as a member of an international team of
   observers to the first postcommunist elections in Hungary. It was a
   heady experience to bear witness to the crumbling of a totalitarian
   system and the dramatic, yet peaceful, emergence of a democratic
   transition.

   One episode from that period: while walking along the fashionable Vaci
   utca pedestrian mall in downtown Budapest, I noticed numerous street
   vendors selling maps showing the pre-1914 borders of Hungary. This map
   included present day Slovakia, as well as Transylvania (now part of
   Romania) and parts of Ukraine, Yugoslavia, and even Austria. I knew
   that for Hungarians the peace treaty imposed by the Allied victors at
   Trianon in 1920 was a ruthless diktat that broke up their historical
   homeland.
