Russia did not take over Hungary in the traditional sense of annexation, but it played a significant role in Hungary's affairs, particularly during the Cold War. After World War II, Hungary became a satellite state of the Soviet Union, with the Red Army occupying the country in 1945. This influence was solidified through the establishment of a communist government, which was maintained until the fall of communism in 1989. The Soviet presence was primarily motivated by a desire to extend communist ideology and maintain control over Eastern Europe.
