The article deals with different occurences and forms of repression by the bodies of the communist Rákosi regime (particularly the State security service) in the border triangle, the Porabje/Raba Valley, especially following the Informbiro. One of the most efficient methods of removing unwanted persons were deportations to closed forced labour camps in the provinces of Hortobágy, Nagykunság, Hajdúság in Eastern Hungary. Forced labour in camps, police surveillance, pysical and mental maltreatment of inmates, inhuman living conditions, etc., belong among the coercive measures of the authorities. The presentation of the then events is supported by relevant archival documents and the inmates' testimonies.

COBISS.SI-ID: 12269645The text presents, on the basis of an actual case of expulsion of inhabitants from the bilingual settlement Petišovci in Prekmurje/the Mura region in Slovenia, and the case of Slovene school education and Slovene teachers in the Porabje/Raba region in Hungary, the negative consequences of the Informbiro resolution upon the Slovene minority in Hungary and the Hungarian minority in Yugoslavia. Due to the Informbiro conflict, both the minorities, the Hungarian in Prekmurje and the Slovene in the Porabje, became suspicious to the authorities which used such means as expulsion and deportation from one's home place against the »unwanted minority elements«.
