The farmlands
At the end of the 1940s over one million people lived in the rural farmlands of Hungary. During the years of communism, the farms were sucked into the industry and the collective farms, so by the early 1990s, only 200.000 people stayed. Those who remain couldn’t live without their freedom, but they face hardships every day.
