Hungarian Royal Gendarme Veterans' Association

The Hungarian Royal Gendarme Veterans' Association (Hungarian: Magyar Királyi Csendőr Bajtársi Közösség), commonly known by its initialism of MKCsBK or Csendor, is an international veterans' organization founded in its initial form in 1947, with the goal of maintaining an association of veterans of the Royal Hungarian Gendarmerie following its dissolution in 1944 during the Soviet occupation of Hungary. It continues today as an association of the few remaining living veterans, with an additional goal of making original information and records about the Hungarian Royal Gendarmes available to the public in order to counter what the MKCsBK deems to be misinformation disseminated by the government during the years of communist rule.
