> the revolution against the russians in 1956 is probably the most important historic event

I thought it would be the Trianon treaty. How much land did you gain or lose in 1956?

Good point, the Trianon treaty and associated loss of territory is an important national trauma (we've got a respectable collection :) ). It's a favorite of populist politicians, but it doesn't deserve a bank holiday like the 1956 revolution. 1956 recently got a full "memorial year" https://www.magyarforradalom1956.hu/ choke-full of thinly veiled campaigning financed with public money.
