Who were the heroes of 1956, and what new findings did recent research reveal about them?

In the context of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, a hero is defined as someone who acted nobly towards their opponents and fought for Hungarian independence and freedom against the Soviets, despite overwhelming odds. The initial successes of the insurgents against the Red Army are noted, with a humorous quip highlighting Budapest's significance among world powers. Various groups, including those from Józsefváros and Ferencváros, played crucial roles, controlling significant areas during the ceasefire on October 28, when many revolutionary demands were temporarily met.
