A life story of Imre Nagy - a man who became symbol of a national resistance to oppression, prime minister who renounced The Warsaw Pact Treaty and at the times was brave enough to be proclaiming democratic system of multiple governing political parties. Many suppose that the part he played in the year of 1956 wasn't only a reflection of his faith in ideas which he had been proclaiming until his tragic death. It wasn't only a consequence of his life journey, of his communist beliefs or Moscow history. He came to cognition gradually, through a strange catharsis. The fate of martyr Imre Nagy finally chose for himself had its source in the deepest parts of his soul, in his honest attitude of a man who succeeded in identifying with the destiny of his people.
