In Czechoslovakia it was even funnier - communists won election by a landslide, and still did a coup two years later.
93 out of 300 seats is a good result, but not a landslide. They got pissy because they had to work with other parties.
Around 114 if you include Slovak party branch that was kinda separate but not really.
But yeah, I hyperbolized a bit calling it a landslide, got it mixed up. Still a big win though, that they and Stalin just weren't content with.
Won by a landslide, or by "a landslide"?
More info, please.
