István Vágó, Róbert Szikora and András Patyi's names also appear on nyitottaktak.hu – well-known names are being revealed from the database
A Historical Archives of State Security Services has released data on thousands of registered agents, revealing names of notable public figures including politicians, musicians, and clergy. The searchable database allows users to find information based on various criteria, but the list is considered incomplete and potentially misleading. Some individuals were coerced into collaboration, while others willingly reported. Notable figures like Gyula Vikidál and Katalin Karikó have been identified, alongside lesser-known names such as Szepesi György and various bishops. The implications of these revelations raise questions about the extent of state surveillance and the nature of these individuals' involvement with state security.
