A rendészettudomány kialakulása és gondozásának nemzetbiztonsági, határőrizeti példái a Belügyi Szemlében a rendszerváltásig
Abstract
The Interior Review, as a professional-scientific forum, from its beginning to the change of the political system, facilitated the professional training of the employees of the Hungarian Ministry of Interior bodies, the tracing, professional processing, publication and perfection of the best domestic and international practices and experiences and thus the forming and development of the science of law enforcement. The Review and its professional-scientific activity played an important role in the forming and deepening of the interior activities subject to the modern rule of law. The structure of the state security services, operating within the organization of the Interior Ministry, was radically reorganized after the 1956 revolution, similarly to that of the ministry.
The Ministry tried to strengthen the quasi newly created state security organization, the State Security Main Division III with the help of internal affairs and state security propaganda methods. What international experience and articles were chosen to extensively and intensively develop the organization? What methods, solutions and messages of the internal and allied state security propaganda are conveyed by these translations? What, possibly even current and useful professional ideas, solutions, advice or deductions do these writings contain? What domestic or international political backgrounds or situations are reflected by these articles?
At the end of the 60s and the beginning of the 70s there were significant changes in the Hungarian border surveillance. This is when the mine fields were cleared, the installation of the Electrical Alarm System was begun and the number of the Border Service corps was increased by almost 1000 people, to almost 18.000, which can be considered significant in the history of the Interior Ministry Border Service. What contributed to the modernization was definitely the publication of the translation of some professional materials from the neighbouring countries (including Germany and the countries of the socialist block) in the Internal Ministry Review.
