Source 1

In Hungary thousands of people have obtained arms by disarming soldiers and military men…Soldiers have

been making friends with the embittered and dissatisfied masses…The authorities are paralysed,

unable to stop the bloody events.

From a report in a Yugoslav newspaper. Yugoslavia, although Communist, did not approve of Soviet policies.

Obtained = gotArms = weaponsEmbittered = to feel bitter/annoyed

Source 2We have almost no weapons, no heavy guns of any kind. People are running up to the tanks, throwing in hand grenades and closing the drivers’ windows. The Hungarian people are not afraid of death. It is only a pity we cannot last longer. Now the firing is starting again. The tanks are coming nearer and

nearer. You can’t let people attack tanks with their bare hands. What is the United Nations doing?

A message sent by the Hungarian rebels fighting the Communists.
