Gati, Charles (September 2006). Failed Illusions: Moscow, Washington, Budapest and the 1956 Hungarian Revolt. Stanford University Press. hlm. 49. ISBN0-8047-5606-6. Gati describes "the most gruesome forms of psychological and physical torture ... The reign of terror (by the Rákosi government) turned out to be harsher and more extensive than it was in any of the other Soviet satellites in Central and Eastern Europe." He further references a report prepared after the collapse of communism, the Fact Finding Commission Törvénytelen szocializmus (Lawless Socialism): "Between 1950 and early 1953, the courts dealt with 650,000 cases (of political crimes), of whom 387,000 or 4 percent of the population were found guilty." (Budapest, Zrínyi Kiadó/Új Magyarország, 1991, 154).
Gati, Charles (September 2006). Failed Illusions: Moscow, Washington, Budapest and the 1956 Hungarian Revolt. Stanford University Press. hlm. 160. ISBN0-8047-5606-6. Gati states: "discovered in declassified documents, the Soviet Ministry of Defense had begun to prepare for large-scale turmoil in Hungary as early as July 1956. Codenamed "Wave", the plan called for restoration of order in less than six hours ... the Soviet Army was ready. More than 30,000 troops were dispatched to—and 6,000 reached—Budapest by the 24th, that is, in less than a day."

Dalam bahasa Hungaria, awalnya menggunakan istilah "felkelés" (pemberontakan), kemudian pada tahun 1957–1988 wajib menggunakan istilah "ellenforradalom" (kontra-revolusi) oleh pemerintah, kemudian nama resmi setelah 1990 berubah menjadi "forradalom és szabadságharc" (revolusi dan perjuangan kebebasan) untuk meniru istilah lama dari Revolusi Hungaria 1848. Penjelasan lain mengenai istilah itu adalah "Revolusi" tepat secara bahasa baik dalam bahasa Inggris (lihat latar belakang Kementerian Luar Negeri AS di Hungaria) dan bahasa Hungaria ("forradalom"). Terdapat perbedaan antara "penggulingan kekuasaan yang sepenuhnya" pada revolusi dan pemberontakan yang mungkin berhasil atau gagal (Oxford English Dictionary). Kejadian ini, walau berumur pendek, merupakan revolusi yang sesungguhnya karena berhasil menggulingkan pemerintahan yang berkuasa. Tidak seperti istilah kudeta dan "putsch" yang mengimplikasikan tindakan dari segelintir orang, revolusi 1956 digagas oleh massa.
