Tibor Szamuely

Tibor Szamuely (December 27, 1890 - August 2, 1919) was leading member of the Hungarian Soviet Republic. During which time he was a distinguished politician in the Republic and would occupy a number of positions until he landed himself as "The People's Commissar for Military Affairs." He would go on to be the founder of a Left-wing paramilitary group, that earned the nickname "The Lenin Boys." Who comprised of about 200 people and where used in suppressing counter-revolutionary activity. It's said that after a failed counter revolution against the Soviet Republic, Bela Kun (the leader of the Republic) unleashed the Tibor's Lenin Boys to snuff any remaining remnants of the counter revolution. Estimates put the body count around 370 - 590 in total. This event would become known as the Red Terror.

"Everywhere counter-revolutionaries run about and swagger; beat them down! Beat their heads where you find them! If counter-revolutionaries were to gain the upper hand for even a single hour, there will be no mercy for any proletarian. Before they stifle the revolution, suffocate them in their own blood!"- Tibor Szamuely's writings in the Vörös Újság (Red News).
