Interviews about the Regime Change

Interviews about the Regime Change

Blinken OSA acquired a new collection of almost 200 audio interviews made by András Bozóki and his team in 1997. The interviewees were all participants of the Hungarian regime change, many of them remain active politicians today. The interviews give a comprehensive overview of the history of the regime change, with a special emphasis on the National Round Table negotiations. Some of the audio materials were used in publications analyzing the events of the transition, such as the book titled Gördülő rendszerváltás [Rolling regime change], published in 2019.

The digitization of the audio cassettes has started, copies of the recordings will be available for research in our Research Room.
