4. Last but not least I would like to mention the role of Soviet state security
officers in the reprisal after the 1956 Revolution. In November-December
1956 mainly Soviet officers carried out arrests and investigation of arrested
revolutionaries, many times even the minutes of questioning were
taken in Russian. According to the report of General Serov of 27 th November
1956 altogether 1473 people were arrested and 768 were detained
in the Soviet Union by Soviet state security organs.
Gergö Bendegúz Cseh; Head of department Department for Computerizing,
Data Processing and Preservation. I have been collaborating with a research
group organized by the Contemporary Historical Committee of the Hungarian
Academy of Sciences since 1994 to collect minutes and other documents of
the activity of the Allied Control Commission for Hungary. In connection with
this project I spent four month in Washinton DC in 1996 and suceeded to get
together copies of minutes of ACC meetings. The collected and selected documents
of the ACC for Hungary were published in 2000.
The topic of my Ph.D. dissertation is in close connection with this publication
since I’m dealing with the activity of American and British military missions
in the Allied Control Commission for Hungary. Lately I am dealing with
electronic data processing and digitization in the archives and keeping and
handling of electronic records.I am member of the committee of the Association
of the Hungarian Archivists and member of the editorial board of the archival
periodical called Levéltári Szemle (Archival Review).
