The Hungarians are an exceptionally smart people. While under the thumb of a puppet Soviet regime, the people saw how the government would periodically purge itself. They would rewrite history and cast those out of favor as villains, completely obscuring the truth of history. So when Hungary was finally free, they didn't want to make the same mistake. Instead, they hauled a number of the state-commissioned propaganda statues just outside of town and created a memorial park.
