Although negotiations on this issue began much earlier, the launch of local border traffic on the Soviet-Hungarian border dates back to the late 1980s. Csilla Fedinec's new study, based on materials from the Hungarian National Archives, presents the course of negotiations between the two countries and the extraordinary contradictions of this process.
