The article deals with the response of residents of Voroshylovhrad and Stalin (modern — Luhans’k and Donets’k) regions to the uprising against the communist regime in Hungary in autumn 1956. The author notes that the Hungarian Revolution was a factor behind the growth of public dissent in the Donbass, provoking a rise of critical sentiments related to the internal problems of Soviet society.
