Galactica

Star Wars was not the first, but it is certain that the film had the greatest impact on the fact that science fiction culture had so many followers in Hungary. The most important forum for domestic fans was Galaktika, whose editor-in-chief, Péter Kuczka, is the story of today's 21st century. Kuczka, as a staunch communist, was a supporter of Rákosi, wrote poems about the party and the "dear leader", and then total disillusionment followed. In '56, he was a supporter of Imre Nagy, for which he was subjected to complete silence and deprivation. At Móra Könyvkiadó, he was entrusted with sci-fi literature because at that time it was still considered weightless, children's literature. Kuczka then influenced the entire genre, giving opportunities to many young people.
