Hungarian Revolution of 1956 - A mass of Protesters Gathered in Front of The Parliament Building

Time: Thursday Oct 25, 1956

Place: Budapest, Hungary

Details: On 25 October, a mass of protesters gathered in front of the Parliament Building. ÁVH units began shooting into the crowd from the rooftops of neighbouring buildings. Some Soviet soldiers returned fire on the ÁVH, mistakenly believing that they were the targets of the shooting. Supplied by arms taken from the ÁVH or given by Hungarian soldiers who joined the uprising, some in the crowd started shooting back.
