Hungary, 1989 — Viktor Orbàn is beaten and forcibly restrained by police under the communist regime. The photograph captures the moment mid-struggle, with multiple uniformed officers gripping him as he resists on a public street. Bystanders and other security personnel are visible nearby, while the physical imbalance between the individual and the state authorities dominates the frame. The image freezes a brief but intense encounter between police power and civilian defiance in the final year of communist rule in Hungary.
