István Vági

During the Hungarian Soviet Republic, he served as political commissar of the construction workers' battalion in the Red Army.

[1] After the fall of the Soviet Republic, he was secretary of the Social Democratic Party organization, first in Győr, then in Pécs.

However, Vági was acquitted on August 4, 1926, due to a lack of evidence, as the police could not prove the close connection between the legal MSzMP and the illegal KMP.

[2] In February 1927, Vági was arrested again, this time sentenced to four and a half years in prison.

On March 23, 1938, Vági was arrested on trumped-up charges of espionage during the Great Purge and sentenced to death by firing squad on July 29, 1938.
