"There are regions deep inside" – the series of articles by HVG staff about the extinct Hungarian villages has been expanded into a book.

The book by HVG staff explores the decline of villages in Hungary, highlighting the impact of modernization and abandonment. Many villages became uninhabitable due to lack of infrastructure, leading families to relocate to larger towns. The article reflects on the historical context of these deserted places, including a cemetery near Gánt that marks the tragic loss of life during WWII. It also discusses the artificial depopulation caused by industrial activities, such as bauxite mining. The authors capture the unique stories of these villages and their former inhabitants, illustrating the emotional weight of their decline through evocative imagery. The number of villages with fewer than 100 residents is expected to rise, currently totaling 135.
