Communist rule in the People's Republic of Hungary came to an end in 1989 by a peaceful transition to a democratic system. After the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was suppressed by Soviet forces, Hungary remained a communist country. As the Soviet Union weakened at the end of the 1980s, the Eastern Bloc disintegrated.
The events in Hungary were part of the Revolutions of 1989, known in Hungarian as the Rendszerváltás (lit.'system change' or 'change of regime').
