  In the first years of the 1970s, especially on the day of the national holiday on March 15, large-scale celebratory and at the same time protest movements and parades of young people took place in the streets of the Hungarian capital. In the beginning, the authorities only imposed punishments on a few individuals, which were considered light at the time, but in 1972, significant prison sentences were also imposed. In 1973 and 1974, they tried to prevent street demonstrations as a preventive measure. During 1972, disciplinary sanctions were imposed on many students. The ministry in charge of education tried to coordinate disciplinary reprisals, and the process of retorts was regulated centrally. In the process, dozens of students suffered punishments, including expulsion.

  Due to increased archival and records management tasks, there was an urgent need for higher education in archival education in the second half of the 20th century. After the first initiative, after the end of university archival training between 1950 and 1955, a two-year course organized by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs only partially filled the gap, and due to its lack of elaboration and accountability, it can only be considered a partial success. Its value can be seen in the fact that it tried to pass on targeted knowledge to participants who had already worked in an archive, so the training was not considered an “elite” course of history. Correction of the errors in the course was delayed due to the reopening of the jigher education of archivist.
