Fellélegzés és illúziók – Nagy Imre első miniszterelnökségének visszhangja Hajdú-Biharban az MDP iratainak tükrében
5-20Views:1Both the power struggles after Stalin’s death, and the new course of Soviet leadership in the Cold War lead to a turn in the Hungarian government, as well. The Stalinist Rákosi was succeeded by Prime Minister Imre Nagy, and his reign started off with a huge wave of reform declarations. The whole country was relieved as a result of the measures that somewhat mitigated the repression of the system and slightly raised living standards. The reforms met also in Hajdú-Bihar an almost unanimous sympathy: from the cooperative owners through the individual peasants, from the working class through the intelligentsia, every social layer in the county found the parts they liked in the government program. However, several people wanted to see more in the reforms than what they indeed meant, at some places, people saw even the complete retirement of the system behind these measures. The party apparat took the measures facilitating everyday life (the “new period”) uncomprehendingly nation-wide, thus even in Hajdú-Bihar, and therefore they moved sluggishly to realize those measures, finding them too much. When the evolution of foreign policy of the Cold War created unfavourable conditions, the Soviet government also drew back from Imre Nagy. Therefore, the reform era – that was happily welcomed and that compelled further hopes, and at some places, illusions – ended. -
Az őszinteség-realizmus-áttetszőség koncepciója Révész Imre vallomásaiban
53-59Views:1This study aims to present a possible way of analysing the theological autobiography of Imre Révész, based on the concept of Zoltán Z. Varga. The analysis is based on three main aspects: honesty, realism, and transparency, which appear to correspond to the fragmentation of the term CV (self – honesty, course – transparency, of life – realism). In Révész’s theological autobiography, the confessional nature is a guarantee of honesty, and the realistic reading appears primarily in the reality of the venues and characters. The third aspect is perhaps the most complex, as I am trying to shed light on the “significance” of what is described in the autobiography, and then in the last few thoughts of the writing, I am examining the curiosities of the bishop’s ego document. -
Vallási sérelmek Debrecenben a 18. században
5-17Views:1Debrecen got first into conflict with the leaders of the Catholic Church after gaining the Free Royal City title (1693). During the parliament of 1712–1715, both the legate of the chapter of Várad and Imre Csáky, the Bishop of Várad considered the possibility of the moving in of the Catholics and the building and running a Catholic church and school as the prerequisite of winning the title of Free Royal City. Based on the effective assistance provided by bishop Imre Csáky, the building of the church and the management of the school was taken over by Piarists. The Catholic church was built by 1746, and was sanctified by bishop Miklós Csáky. As the monarch, Maria Theresa caused harm to the Reformed population in several fields. She banned the financial aid of the Reformed Church, the press, and the College, she limited, and during the Seven Years’ War, banned the students from attending foreign universities which she also connected to the possession of a passport. Although only 3,4% of the city’s population comprised Catholics, by 1776 she achieved that half of the 12-member council be appointed without election as Catholic members of the council. Besides appointing the Chief Justice (the only remaining right of whom was jurisdiction), she ordered the election of the mayor responsible for finance and administration, and one of these two leaders had to be Catholic. During the reign of Joseph II, favourable opportunities opened for the representation of Protestant interests based on the tolerance regulation, and this tendency continued with the publication of the 26th law Article of 1791. During the parliamentary sessions, the Calvinists of Debrecen and its neighbourhood played a serious role in the law debate. The above situation demonstrates that by the end of the century, the problems and grievances of the inhabitants of Debrecen became important ingredients of the country-wide conflicts of Calvinists and Lutherans. -
Discourses around the Great Hungarian Plain in Early 19th-Century Travelogues
1-25Views:11Through examining Hungarian travel literature from the first half of the 19th century, the present
paper aims to explore the representations of the Great Hungarian Plain and the discursive transformations
surrounding it. Its premise is that travelogues are not merely descriptive sources, but
texts produced at the intersection of contemporary spatial perception, aesthetic norms, and the
formation of national identity, that transform the landscape into a culturally mediated experience.
The paper's central thesis is that the image of the Great Hungarian Plain underwent a significant
discursive transformation from the beginning of the century to the end of the Reform Era: the
plain, initially characterized by negative aesthetic terms (emptiness, monotony, formlessness),
gradually became one of the privileged spatial embodiments of national identity.
The study concludes that travelogues from the early 19th century depict the Great Plain not simply
as a geographical space, but as a complex mental and cultural construct. These texts contribute to
the formation of a national conception of space in which the Great Plain appears both as a periphery
and as a centre, a paradoxical territory of freedom and exposure, familiarity and alienation. -
Draheim Lipót Vilmos birtokai
34-42Views:1On April 15, 1685, Abaúj County sent a letter to Imre Thököly to draw the monarch’s attention to the contradictions and abuses of the lawsuit against Vilmos Draheim, and to propose the return of the estates unlawfully confiscated by the Chamber. The mediation of the county also contributed to the fact that Vilmos Draheim, the former prefect of the Spiš Chamber, was able to keep his cattle. However, it is not specified in any document what estates the Chamber confiscates, they are referred to only in a couple of sentences. As part of the life of the former prefect is obscured, it is only possible to reconstruct his estates and their size from the data and letter excerpts from 1682–93. This study undertakes just that, looking for answers to the questions on how Draheim was able to enrich his cattle during his work and how much wealth he left to his children when he died. -
Aki nem tette le a fegyvert
21-30Views:2Late dr. Elek Tóth lived in Hajdúböszörmény, serving the citizens as a GP. We hereby present a part of a diary he wrote. He had been preparing for a military career, but didn’t succeed, so he graduated from the Agricultural Academy of Debrecen. During the 1956 Revolution, he entered the National Guard and participated in its work all the way through. He was part of the negotiating delegation sent to the MÁV Járműjavító (Vehicle Repairs of the Hungarian State Railways). Together with four peers, he did not capitulate after the Soviet intervention, but hit the road towards Miskolc at 19:20 pm, on 4th November 1956. They wanted to join the resistant teams there. In his present reminiscence, he reports in detail about the days of the Revolution, and his role in it. -
Az egykori tócóskerti „bagolyvár” története
18-23Views:1In Debrecen, in Tócóskert of the gardens quarter, there was a special one-story house among the many small one-story buildings. The house was originally owned by engineer Iván Kacskovics (1809–1880), colonel of the Home Guard in 1848, imperial and royal captain, member of the city committee, and his wife, Terézia Kolner. He also owned the hemp soaker on the corner of the nearby Kishegyesi and István Street. After their deaths, the “owl castle” was auctioned off. Until the demolition in 1979, several residents and industrialists used the house. -
Nagyvárad országgyűlési képviselete a dualizmus korában (1867–1918)
5-18Views:1The study looks at the issue of Nagyvárad's parliamentary representation in the AustroHungarian Empire period, focusing primarily on the proportionality of the city's
mandate numbers and the elected parliamentarians. In the first part of the paper, I
examine the one parliamentary mandate owner Nagyvárad's elective franchise and
elective geographical position in comparison with other cities having one mandate, and
with similarly populated cities having two mandates. The consequence of the findings is
that Nagyvárad (as well as Arad and Temesvár, which have similar social and economic
geography features) could not get more seats in the Hungarian House of
Representatives seeking a social status quo conservation due to its "modern bourgeois
city" nature, and not because of the city's ethnic makeup.
In the second part of the study, I analyze the party affiliation of Nagyvárad’s
representatives, and through this, the urban voter behavior and the representatives
themselves (Imre Szacsvay, György Lukács, Ágoston Tokody, Gyula Győrffy, István
Teleszky, Kálmán Tisza, Béla Barabás, Endre Hlatky, Tamás Szokoly, Géza Hoványi). -
Hajdúnánás periférikus területeinek kialakulása, különös tekintettel az Újházhelyre
63-78Views:1In this paper I am trying to present the development of the peripheral areas of Hajdúnánás, with a special attention on Újházhely, which is located on the Northern part of the town. Furthermore, the present study applies and refers to previous works focusing on this area, as well as other sources, such as ethnographic collections, maps of military surveys, manuscript maps, historical sources, aerial photographs, and interviews. One topic might still be questionable, though: whether these areas of the town could be peripheral in other aspects in that specific time interval or not, for instance, in economic or in authority aspects. This is a topic that we should focus on in further research. -
Háromszéki Szotyori Nagy család debreceni ága
24-48Views:2Only a few people know the activities of the Szotyori Nagy family, most people only remember that there used to be a Szotyori settlement in Debrecen (today it is part of the Hatvan Street garden). The oldest member of the family from Transylvania, who arrived to Debrecen, was the first cantor organist of the Great Church of Debrecen, and the first organ of the Great Church was inaugurated with his help. His elder son took over his father’s job as a cantor organist of the Great Church. Besides that, he also taught at the Reformed College in Debrecen and composed music. He also learned organ building during his study trips abroad, so he was asked to be an expert in building several church organs in the country. The city’s first music conservatory was also named after him. The members of the family even included a renowned doctor of the city of Debrecen, an inventor, a notary public, a composer, a Catholic priest, an organist and a music teacher. Several family members wrote and edited music publications. The graves of several deceased family members can still be found in the Public Cemetery, and the descendants of one branch of the family still live in Debrecen. -
Határhasználat, tagosítás, tanyásodás – A téma percepciója a történeti szakirodalomban és a folyamatok bemutatása Hajdúnánás példáján
59-81Views:1The aim of my paper is to examine the origin and the using of lands during the 19th and 20th centuries. Moreover, focusing on the evolution of farm-steads. In this study, I apply and refer to many previous works of this research area. Furthermore, I supply the study with using maps, statistical data, and historical sources. Extensive animal breeding was determining until the middle of the 19th century, then agriculture became more significant in the second half of that century. To sum up, we could monitor the evolution of the farm-steads from the late 19th century, because it became more important in that given period. However, there is no accepted explanation to expound this phenomenon, and for that very reason, we should concentrate on analysing that topic.
