Mátyás Rákosi 拉科西·马加什

Mátyás Rákosi [ˈmaːcaːʃ ˈraːkoʃi] (9 March 1892 – 5 February 1971) was a Hungarian communist politician. He was born Mátyás Rosenfeld in Ada, present-day Serbia. He was the leader of the Hungarian Communist Party from 1945 to 1956 — first as General Secretary of the Hungarian Communist Party (1945–1948) and later holding the same post with the Hungarian Working People's Party (1948–1956). As such, from 1949 to 1956, he was the de facto ruler of Communist Hungary. His government was aligned with the USSR. American journalist John Gunther described Rákosi as "the most malevolent character I ever met in political life."
