Budapest summoned Moscow's ambassador Tuesday after Russian state TV made what Hungary called "degrading" remarks about its 1956 uprising against Soviet communist rule. "We will make very clear that we won't tolerate anyone making degrading remarks regarding the 1956 uprising and its heroes," the foreign affairs ministry told Hungarian news agency MTI. Russian state TV had described the armed rebellion as "riots", during which "thousands of former Nazis were liberated from prison", as Hungary commemorated the revolt's 60th anniversary with a large state ceremony on Sunday.
