The study examines the anti-Nazi screening procedures at the Hungarian Radio, an important but almost forgotten episode in the post liberation history of Hungary – fighting delusions. The practice of the screening committees and people's courts should be interpreted in a complex way: they provided a forum for acting out justified emotions ignited by war events and war propaganda and they made a basis for subsequently launching show trials but also helped to reveal facts of the that time recent past and also conveyed the message that serving a criminal regime was immoral and a crime itself.

The study follows the changes in gender relations and women policy in the time of Hungarian state-socialism, examining key areas in society, politics, economy and culture. Within gender policy and gender relations, the relationship between continuity and change is in the focus, examining how the emancipative ideal of socialism/communism matched social reality, what were the background motives of the system, and how developments correspond to West European gender policy achievements reached in the same period.
