Th e students of Szeged played a vital role in showing higher educational matters to the Hungarian society and drawing the public’s attention to the political and social problems. AHUCS was the fi rst student movement to set up a bottom-up organization aft er WW II, however it could not go through the process of institutionalization. Instead, it fulfi lled the role of catalyst in the revolution, as it raised important issues at a historic moment. Apart from their intent to form an organization and demand educational and social reforms, the students in Szeged also drew up nationwide political claims on 16 October. Most of these claims were incorporated into the program of the Szeged unit of AHUCS at their great assembly on 20 October. Th ree days later (on 23 October, 1956), many of their political claims became the claims of the Revolution, and AHUCS had a tremendous impact on national politics not only by its claims but also through its delegates: it became the spark of the revolution. At the great assembly of AHUCS, held on 20 October, a tape recording of the event was made by György Garai of the National Radio. During the retaliation that followed the revolution, all the actors of the new communist regime believed Scroll MRD565 to have burnt on 23 October, at the siege of the building of the Hungarian National Radio. It was only due to the fact that this scroll had been labelled as ‘material destroyed’ that the lives of student revolutionists were spared in 1957. However, the Scroll did not burn: the records of revolutionary claims were fi nally revealed. As part of my research, I published the material on the homepage of AHUCS.
