 In 1956 Hungarian patriots tried to overthrow the brutal Communist regime. The uprising was prepared during 1955 and began with a demonstration of 200,000 in Budapest on 23 October 1956. The desperate red leaders asked Moscow for help in suppressing it, but the rebels resisted, forcing Soviet troops into the suburbs of the capital. On November 2, 1956, Marshal Konev ordered the commander of the Special Corps to liquidate the uprising, providing him with additional troops and tanks. Hundreds of thousands of Hungarians escaped to the West in the chaos, but the uprising was quickly crushed. The Hungarian army remained neutral, refusing to fire on fellow Hungarians. The Hungarian Workers' Party (the Communist Party)was weakened by the affair, but it changed its name and resumed its police state.
