Révész Sándor - Dobi István - Az elfeledett államfő Egy nincstelen parasztfiú útja a hatalomba

Who was István Dobi? It is not easy to decide who this head of state, who seems familiar, but who has sunk into obscurity, really was. Perhaps "the youngest son of a poor man", who fought poverty and nominally won half the kingdom, but he could not be a real king even on his throne. He is perhaps the politician who best understands the Hungarian land and farmers, but who, by representing cooperatives, greatly worsened the situation of those living off the land. Perhaps Rákosi and Kádár's puppet struggling with alcoholism, who accurately saw the many signs of the system's inefficiency, but his role was exhausted in the zealous management of small-scale affairs. Perhaps one of our most popular heads of state, since before "Uncle Árpi" he was the "Uncle Pista" of the rural peasantry, who was sometimes called "My Beloved Leader".
Behind his life - his rise and quiet fall - all the peculiarities, compulsions and compromises of the contemporary system pulsate. They are full of contradictions, the understanding of which brings the reader closer to understanding the history of Hungary.
