This letter reveals Soviet Union hypocrisy, championing the Cuban and Congolese cased while brutally suppressing the struggle for independence of Hungarian people, maintaining troops on Hungarian soil, dominating Hungarian economic life and voting down all General Assembly resolutions calling for the withdrawal of Soviet troops and free elections. The letter calls for continuous vigilance of heart and mind in defending the Hungarian cause.
