State security photos about secret religious community’s camping in Hungary

The folder with “The campers” as its cover name is kept in the Historical Archives of the Hungarian State Security forces (Állambiztonsági Szolgálatok Történeti Levéltára – ÁBTL). It includes reports on and photographs of the religious group named Christian Community. The camping trips taken by members of the group in 1983 and in 1984 were the focus of the state efforts to keep the group under observation. The photo collection is the result of secrtet observation work and the method of taking photos from a hiding place. Moreover, this is a vestige of the information-collecting practices of the political police which seems, now, a little grotesque. The documentation of the meeting, which was labeled illegal, was followed by intervention by the police.

该名为“露营者”的文件夹保存在匈牙利国家安全部队（Állambiztonsági Szolgálatok Történeti Levéltára – ÁBTL）的历史档案馆中。其中包含有关名为基督教社区的宗教团体的报告和照片。该团体于1983年和1984年组织的露营旅行成为了国家对其保持监视努力的重点。这一照片集合是秘密监视工作的成果，采用了从隐蔽处拍摄照片的方法。此外，这亦是政治警察信息收集实践的历史遗存，如今看来似乎显得有些荒诞。对于被标记为非法的会议的记录，随后遭到了警方的干预。
