Domokos Kosáry
Domokos Kosáry ([ˈdomokoʃ ˈkoʃaːri], 31 July 1913 – 15 November 2007) was a Hungarian historian and writer who served as president of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences from 1990 until 1996.[1]
Biography
Kosáry was born in Selmecbánya (Banská Štiavnica) and opposed the German occupation and collaboration with Hungary during World War II.[1] He lost influence in Hungary after the war due to the communist takeover of the country for being too "bourgeois".[1] He was imprisoned for his opposition to communism following the failed Hungarian Revolution of 1956.[1]
Kosáry was unanimously elected president of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS) in 1990 and was re-elected to a second three-year term in 1993.[1] He led the effort to introduce newer, more democratic bye laws at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.[1] The new laws governing the HAS were enacted by the Parliament of Hungary in 1994.[1]
Kosáry died in Budapest on 15 November 2007 at the age of 95.[1]
