By 1949, the communist dictatorship was established in Hungary modelled on the Soviet Union. The regime completely re-organized economic and social structures, which often lead to disappointment and resistance. The dictatorship employed violence in order to silence critical voices. The Rákosi regime (1949-56) and later the Kádár regime (1956-1989) did not stay away from monitoring society, from show trials and even from execution. The enforcement organizations could threaten and blackmail everyone; the nature of the totalitarian dictatorship brought fear into everyday life.
The relief was part of a larger artwork by Sándor Ambrózy and Károly Stöckert; it would have decorated the western cupola of the Népstadion (People’s Stadium) metro station in Budapest. The original relief, named “Guardians of Peace,” depicted episodes from the life of the People’s Army. Although the relief was finished in 1952, it was never officially inaugurated, since the construction of the metroline was interrupted in 1953. Thus the relief was broken up to pieces, and this detail was set up at the Pasaréti Road, Budapest. It was titled the “Pioneer Memorial of the Hungarian Soviet Republic”.
