“Ruszkik, haza” – Russians, go home! – is the latest chant to sound at Kossuth Lajos metro platform as another train comes and goes overflowing with people.

The slogan – originally from the 1956 Hungarian revolution – was adopted by Orban’s critics during the campaign as a sign of protest against his government’s close ties with Russia.

There are also some other songs that are somewhat more explicitly anti-Orbàn.

One guy slides down the escalator’s mechanism in a way I thought was only possible in cartoons.

Now THAT'S going to be one hell of a party! In the meantime, enjoy, Hungarians! And welcome back to the civilized world. Orban was dragging you down. Glad you dumped him once and for all.
