Actor László Márkus and former Washington ambassador András Simonyi are also among the networked individuals.
On Wednesday, Telex revealed names of public figures and artists found in the State Security Services Historical Archives database. Notable individuals include actor László Márkus, who was recruited in 1958, and director János Szikora, who joined in 1987. Composer György Selmeczi and former ambassador András Simonyi were also listed, with their respective codenames. The release of these documents does not confirm that individuals reported to the authorities, as many records are incomplete and may contain false information. The public can access these records, which include names of various artists and politicians, but the context of their recruitment remains unclear, affecting the interpretation of their actions.
