I had to look it up (dont know much about it), but in the Wikipedia entry it notes:

Time named the Hungarian Freedom Fighter its Man of the Year

And

In 2006, Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány referred to this famous Time cover as "the faces of free Hungary" in a speech marking the 50th anniversary of the uprising.

Which makes me think they were later vindicated. But maybe I'm missing something.

I may be wrong and lack any historical knowledge on the subject, but I think author is sarcastically self-identifying as a tankie?

I'm not a troll, I'm a 100% serious and proud Marxist-Leninist. And I think there was nothing wrong with Stalin selling lumber and steel to Nazi Germany in the 1930s to make weapons with. Because I'm a real communist!

selling lumber and steel to Nazi Germany in the 1930s

Every future member of the Allies did this.

What really separated the Soviets from other future Allies is it approaching Britain and France on the eve of the war with an offer of an anti-Nazi pact. imagine if those countries were not so rabidly anti-communist that they agreed to this.
