Tildy, Zoltán

Tildy, Zoltán

▪ president of Hungary
born Nov. 18, 1889, Mosonmagyaróvár, Hung., Austria-Hungary
died Aug. 3, 1961, Budapest

      non-Communist statesman who was president of Hungary for a short time after World War II and a member of the 1956 anti-Soviet revolutionary government.

      Trained as a Protestant reformed minister, Tildy studied theology in Belfast, Ire. After his return to Hungary, he taught at a high school and later became pastor of a parish. He entered politics after World War I and helped to found the middle-of-the-road Smallholders' Party. He was elected to Parliament in 1936.

      After World War II he became president of his party and premier (1945). In 1946–48 Tildy served as president of the Hungarian Republic, resigning ostensibly because of his son-in-law's conviction for treason, but more because of the increasing Sovietization of Hungarian life. For several years Tildy was held under house arrest, but he was rehabilitated in August 1956. From October 28 to November 4 of that year, he joined Imre Nagy's revolutionary government as minister of state. After the suppression of the government by Soviet troops, Tildy was sentenced to a prison term of six years but was released three years later.
