Preserving the Memory of Oksana Lodziuk Krywulych Social Media Chair and NJ Regional President The involvement of the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America in the recognition of the Holodomor spans many decades. During the man-made famine created by Stalin in 1932– 1933, UNWLA members sent letters to their local representatives and to the President of the United States to raise awareness of the deliberate starvation of millions. In September 2018 in New York, a group of individuals (three of whom were Soyuzianky) were invited to a private meeting with Dr. Lubomyr Luciuk, a professor of political science at the Royal Military College of Canada. Prof. Luciuk was at the Ukrainian Institute in New York for the dedication of a plaque to Dr. Raphael Lemkin, the first person to use the term “genocide” with reference to the Holodomor. the Holodomor Our Life | Наше життя November | Листопад 2020 19 a big apartment near the Kremlin, was celebrat - ed in the West as “Our Man in Moscow,” and had just won the Pulitzer Prize. Whom would the world believe? Jones continued to publish articles exposing Stalin’s genocide famine while Duranty bro- kered official recognition of the Soviet Union by the United States, earning great applause at a banquet at the Waldorf Astoria. There was money to be made helping Stalin modernize his empire: turning a blind eye was more con - venient and lucrative for the West. Two years later, Jones was murdered in Inner Mongolia, research suggests with the help of the Soviet secret police. To show the isolation and surreal stress en- dured by whistleblowers and journalists who have "gone too far" in the eyes of the power - ful, Mr. Jones tells this harrowing true story through images of the hunt. Those who hunt for the truth are often hunted. Gareth Jones loses his initial Boy Scout naïveté and takes on a rugged lone-wolf quality as he navigates the desperate terrain of famine-ravaged Ukraine and militarized Moscow. The hunger, desper - ation, and animalistic fight for survival are shown in stark scenes with very little or no dia - logue to create a space where instinct talks. During the darkest moments, the only spark is Jones's own determination to rise above the jungle laws, the greed and materialism of this world as he lives for something greater. He ultimately achieves transcendence and immortality through one of George Orwell's greatest works, Animal Farm, which features in the story. Orwell would go on to review Lyons’s damning memoir confessing to journal - istic malpractice, writing a review that could describe Putin’s Russia today. It was important for us to incorporate the real-life connection between Jones and Orwell, which included sharing a literary agent and an unconquerable gift for speaking truth to power. We wanted to inspire journalists, whistleblowers, artists, and activists to fight like Gareth Jones, and not fear death or persecution, because our work of pure intention lives on, helping others in ways we never could imagine, creating a chain of human progress. The world may be evil, but it has been invaded by good. Continues on page 23 ...
