The 20th century’s two most devastating dictatorships were equally anti-human and anti-God. The survivors of these dictatorships had the opportunity to experience first hand that those who want to create a godless world are capable of the most inhumane deeds. Yet, today we observe that some politicians in the West and in Hungary – who describe themselves as responsible and progressive – resort to double standards and make a shameless distinction between one dictatorship and another, Dr Csaba Latorcai, Minister of State for Public Administration of the Ministry of Human Resources said in his speech delivered at a conference organised by the International Society of Gulag Researchers which was held in the Upper House Hall of the Parliament Building on the memorial day of Soviet-deported Hungarian political prisoners and forced labourers.
