József Révai

József Révai

József Révai (born "József Lederer;" Budapest, October 12, 1898. – Budapest, August 4, 1959.) Hungarian communist politician.

He was one of the founders of the Hungarian Communist Party "(Kommunisták Magyarországi Pártja; KMP)" in 1918. He lived in the Soviet Union between 1934 and 1944. Between 1945 and 1950 he was chief editor of "Szabad Nép" ("Free Nation").

He controlled all aspects of Hungary's cultural life from 1948 until 1953; from 1949 he was also the Minister of Education. After 1953 his influence decreased.

Between 1945–1956 he was a member of the Central Committee of his party, which was renamed in 1948 to Hungarian Workers' Party "(Magyar Dolgozók Pártja; MDP)" after merging with another party. He was the member of the Political Committee (1945–1953; 1956). After the Workers' Party was dissolved and the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party took over its role as the ruling Communist party, Révai became a member of the new party's Central Committee in 1957. He was vice-president to the Presidential Committee between 1953–1958.
