Have there been any revelations or surprises found yet?
Not yet, at least not in any reporting I can find. The database went live today, Wednesday 4 November 2026, so the first stories are about the release itself. Reuters says it holds tens of thousands of names, and Prime Minister Péter Magyar put the number at about 60,000. The most concrete news so far is Viktor Orbán's claim, made on Tuesday before the release, that the communist services tried to recruit him during his military service and that he refused. That is his own account, not something the files showed.
The caveats matter for anyone digging. Reuters reports that many files were destroyed in 1956 and in 1988-1989, and eualive estimates the original network at around 150,000 people, so the database is partial. Most of the named people are reported to be dead. Magyar also warned that the release "could cause some hysteria in the coming months", and a second batch is due by February 2027, which is when the detailed B-dossiers are expected. The first real revelations will probably come from researchers and journalists over the next few weeks, so it's worth checking back.
