Tibor Takács
Historian, Socialism Researcher
What was life like when you couldn’t even trust your neighbors? Communism still lingers on the back shelf of our collective memory – and more and more of us no longer know what everyday life was really like back then. To help us understand, we turn to historian Tibor Takács. He works at the Historical Archives of the State Security Services, specializing in the socialist era and the workings of the political police. Through numerous studies and books, he has explored the history of surveillance, control and adaptation. Join the live recording of the Here and Then Podcast, where Tibor Takács – who has written a book on the subject – will help uncover the secrets of the era.
