En Wikipedia se escribió:Béla Szántó (born as Béla Schreiber, 1881–1951) was a Hungarian Communist politician active participant of the putsch and creation of the Hungarian Soviet Republic in 1919, who later became a critic of the Communist party as led by Béla Kun.
He was born into a Jewish family, his father was Sándor Schreiber and mother Lina Günsberger. He attended elementary school in Homokkomárom, later attended the state civil school (secondary school) in Nagykanizsa. He graduated from the high school in 1900 and worked as an accountant in Kanizsa. In 1906, the Association of Hungarian Private Officials was founded, for which he won the presidency. He was also involved in the antimilitarist movement. On February 18, 1911, in Budapest, in Erzsébetváros, he married Mária (Krammer) Feldbránd, a civic school teacher, who was a daughter of Israel Feldbránd and Zsófia Treibitsch. Szántó joined the Communist Party of Hungary at age 19, and was elected to the Central Committee in 1919. In the Hungarian Soviet Republic he served as People's Commissar for Defence. After the revolution collapsed, Szántó fled first to Vienna and then to Moscow. He played an active role in the ECCI, VKP and Profintern.
In 1930 Szántó published a history of the Hungarian revolution, in which he criticized the actions of Béla Kun, the central leader of the Hungarian communists. This caused hostile relations between Szántó and Kun. With Soviet support, Kun was ousted from the Hungarian party leadership, but Szántó was also targeted, being expelled from the Communist Party and for a time arrested. He was rehabilitated in 1940, and in 1945 returned to Hungary.
