Civil unrest during 50th Anniv, of '56 Revolt

10/23/06 marked the 50th anniversary of the Hungarian revolt against communism which the Soviet Army squashed.

The official celebration of this day entailed 50 foreign dignitaries from Europe and the former USSR (heads of Republics). Peaceful demonstrations occured most of the day against the CURRENT government followed by police clashes lasting til ~2AM.
