Remambrance: the last foreing occupying soldier left Hungary 20 years ago
Date of issue: 28 June 2011
On 10 March 1990 the Hungarian Foreign Minister Gyula Horn and his
Soviet counterpart Eduard Shevardnadze signed the agreement on the
withdrawal of Soviet troops from Hungary in Moscow. According to the
agreement, all personnel including Soviet civilians together with all
armaments, military technology and materiel had to leave the country by
30 June 1991. During this period movements related to military exercises
of Soviet troops including flying were restricted. On 12 March 1990 the
withdrawal of the soldiers, civilian employees, arms, military
technology and materiel of the southern corps of the Soviet army
temporarily stationed in Hungary started with the tank units based at
Hajmáskér. This was in effect completed on 16 June instead of 30 June
1991. The last military train left the country on 16 June 1991. The last
Soviet soldier, Lieutenant General Viktor Shilov, commander of the
southern corps, left Hungarian soil at 15.01 on 19 June.
The
Hungarian Parliament adopted the bill on the significance of regaining
the country’s freedom and on the Day of Hungarian Freedom on 8 May 2001,
which declared 19 June to be a national remembrance day and the last
Saturday of June to be the Day of Hungarian Freedom. (Source: fn.hu)The
