The Hungarian affair ends up with a moral defeat and a material triumph for Russia. She has gobbled up that country and silenced the satellites. She lost international good will, but gained domestic strength that should reflect itself in hardening the regime within the mother country itself. The modest amount of freedom that was conceded to Poland may be wiped out in due course.
