Description
Method The results of this study are based on two different methods of the qualitative research. The analysis of documents from the 1980s, available in the Hungarian State Archives, helped me to understand the opinion-making and actions of socialist Hungary's governing bodies. I perused documents of the then sport high authority, the National Physical Education and Sport Office (OTSH); documents from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; the Political Commission and Central Commission of the Hungarian Socialist Labour Party (state party), and its Administrative Department. Further, sports reporting as it affected Hungarian society can be studied by examining the reporting in three different Hungarian sport newspapers--Nemzeti Sport, Kepes Sport, Sporthirlap--beginning in the 1920s and extending into the 1980s. What is more, I conducted twenty-three personal interviews with athletes and sport leaders from the 1980s to understand their feelings and opinion about the boycott.
