Soviet Forces
This is another photo, probably of Soviet origin, often misidentified as having taken place in Vienna. Actually, during the winter of 1944-1945, the red flag is being displayed by Soviet soldiers on a lamp post standing just in front of the Hungarian parliament, located behind their backs, and not visible in the photo. Across the square (where the Revolution of 1956 began, with yours truly getting really hoarse one day), on the left, stands the ornate Royal Supreme Court of Hungary.
