After the war, Soviet occupation led to terrible repercussions in Villány and the surrounding villages.

Finally, we joined the European Union not in order to retain the divided society created by the Soviet occupation, but in order to overcome it and to retain our own identity.

If Europe is to embrace this historic opportunity for enlargement, removing the divisions created by the Soviet occupation and the communist experiment, candidate countries must be given a chance to accede within a reasonable timeframe.

We should note in particular that this resolution consolidates, in written fashion, an understanding of the Soviet occupation of the Baltic states and the Stalinist Soviet Union’s dictatorship in eastern and central Europe.

In addition, by multiplying his declarations of friendship towards the Orthodox world, the very mediatic Viktor Orbán, de facto champion of the illiberal camp, has, in all likelihood, profoundly modified the historical doctrine of his party regarding anticommunism: from their formerly "geostrategic" anticommunism (opposition to the Soviet occupation then still perceived as a "totalitarian" manifestation of "Eastern barbarism"), hardliners within FIDESZ have now gone all the way to a philosophical anticommunism (presently embodied by the refusal of the kind of New World Order the West is trying to impose on them, a project presented – rightly so in my opinion – as a more or less direct inheritance of the Bolshevik utopia).
