Our Life | Наше життя November | Листопад 2020 18 In March 1933, a 27-year-old Welsh journalist named Gareth Jones managed to travel to Ukraine, where he witnessed the ravaged countryside and interviewed survivors of Stalin's genocidal famine. His eyewitness reporting would meet fierce opposition from the Kremlin, which led a cover- up with the help of leading Western journalists. As one reviewer noted of the film Mr. Jones, which Agnieszka Holland directed and which I wrote and produced to honor my grandfather Olexji Keis, a survivor of the famine, some of the strangest parts of the film are true. The Soviet regime pressured Western journalists to publish articles labeling Jones a liar. The American reporter Eugene Lyons confessed to being part of the conspiracy to discredit Jones in his 1937 memoir Assignment in Utopia; the chapter “The Press Corps Conceals a Famine” describes how Lyons and other journalists agreed to damn Jones a liar in their articles, covering up the famine, in exchange for protecting their access to the regime. Some journalists, like the notorious hedonist Walter Duranty, a former lover of the satanist Aleister Crowley, didn’t have to be pushed too hard. “There is no actual starvation or deaths from starvation but there is widespread mortality from diseases due to malnutrition,” Duranty wrote in The New York Times. Ever a social ringmaster, Duranty lived in Andrea Chalupa Mr. Jones James Norton as Gareth Jones.
