The Hungarian Young Communist League (KISZ) was a communist youth movement in Hungary. It was founded on 21 March 1957 (on the anniversary of the Hungarian Soviet Republic’s declaration in 1919), following the break of 1956 Hungarian Revolution. It claimed to represent all the country’s youth and sought to educate young people politically and to supervise political as well as some social activities for them. KISZ was the most important source of new members for the party. Its organizational framework paralleled that of the Hungarian Socialist Workers’ Party and included a congress, central committee, secretariat, and regional and local committees. Membership was open to youth from the ages of fourteen to twenty-six years, but most of the full-time leaders of the organization were well over the age limit. In the 1980s, KISZ had about 800,000 members. Membership was common among students (96% at universities, 75% in high schools) but was lower among young people already working (31%). It was mandatory for university admittance.

Short biography of Lajos Rotter Sr. (1901-1983).
Lajos Rotter’s interest in aviation became evident in his high school days, when he built elaborate aeromodels and spent his summer vacations in aircraft factories as an apprentice. His high school graduation coincided with the end of the First World War. After the war, he was enrolled in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Technical University of Budapest. During his years at university, he studied broad aspects of aviation using his command of four languages. He was one of the founders of the Sportflying Association (MSrE) of the Technical University in 1921. His first book “Vitorlázórepülés” (Gliding) was published by the Hungarian Aero Association. When the Aviation Department of the Ministry of Transport invited designs for gliders in 1922 to a design competition, Rotter presented a design together with a fellow student István Ágotay. The design has been accepted.
His professional career more or less followed the pattern of the pre-war years, but after 1956 he was denied industrial posts. Between 1949 and 1952 he was technical director of the Hungarian aircraft repair shop Székesfehérvár. He was an acclaimed lecturer at the Technical University of Budapest in the field of precision engineering. He kept in touch with gliding and was active in several organizations promoting gliding: Hungarian Aviation Association, Aircraft Section of the Scientific Association for Mechanical Engineering, Association for Transport Sciences, Transport Museum, to name a few. After 1960, he occasionally flew in gliders abroad, but this activity of his was interrupted by a stroke that left him paralyzed. He died in 1983.

The medal says:”For loyal service of the nation and homeland”
A Workers Guardian was a worker who was trained much like the miliairy for the civil defense of Hungary. The militairy budget of Hungary was drastically reduced in order to give the people a better living standard. So a substitute was needed.
Millions of working class people trained with rifles, mortars, machine guns and even artillery to support the regular army in case of a war. All this was originated by Janos Kadar who was the communist leader of Hungary who took control over Hungary in 1956 untill his retirement in 1988. He ruled for 32 years and died in 1989.
Although he remained loyal to the Soviet Union he is known for being one of the more moderate communist leader.
