Abstract
This work covers the echoes of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 in the contemporaneous Croatian press. It is focused on articles and reports published in 1956, partly during the summer just before the revolution, and mostly on contemporaneous newspaper articles (October, November, December), also encompassing some articles published during the first months of 1957. Furthermore, this paper presents and analyses the echoes of the events in Hungary in the leading newspapers of the Socialist Republic of Croatia (Vjesnik, Narodni list), giving an equal amount of attention to articles published in the Croatian émigré press (Hrvatska revija, Hrvatska država, Hrvatski glas, etc.). In addition, the complex Yugoslav-Hungarian and Yugoslav-Soviet relations of that time are examined.
