Hungary, 1989. One of my favourite TV programs in the 1990s was "Two Fat Ladies" with the delightfully unfashionable Jennifer Paterson and Clarissa Dickson Wright who rode everywhere a Triumph Thunderbird motorcycle and sidecar. Just like these two on a Jawa motorcycle in Hungary, a few years before the TV series was filmed. (All the episodes of Two Fat Ladies are now on YouTube.)

Budapest, 1986. Speaking of interesting times, the late 1980’s was certainly one such period. Here President Gorbachev is visiting downtown Budapest in a time of unprecedented change. He is accompanied by his wife, Raisa, who is having her hand held by János Kádár’s wife, Maria. Kádár, on the right, has time for a cigarette. Interpreters hover around the Gorbachev’s, but not the Kádárs whom speak Russian.

1960. Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. One for the history buffs. Hungarian leader János Kádár playing shuffleboard on the Soviet passenger liner Balitka on his way to the US for the XVth session of the UN General Assembly. That's Nikta Khrushchev on the right, and possibly, Alexei Kosygin of the left.

Hungary, 1965. János Kádár, officially General Secretary of the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party, and Soviet leader Brezhnev, and Communist Party Secretary Podgorny, enjoy some lighter moments together. (Not so sure about the man with his hands in the puddle though!) Clearly Russian and Hungarian leaders have often been pals....No different today it would seem.

Budapest, 1966. A moment in time, a glance, captured on the suburban train that goes to and from the island of Csepel on the southern outskirts of Budapest.
Csepel was a staunchly working class part of the the capital and is as far from the tourist image of Budapest as you can get. That suburban train still goes back and forth to and from Csepel everyday just as in this photo.
