Malcolm Muggeridge: Reflections on Stalin

Malcolm Muggeridge, British journalist and author, travelled to Moscow in 1932-1933 where he was a correspondent for The Manchester Guardian. Muggeridge investigated reports of the Great Famine  (HOLODOMOR) in Ukraine, travelling there without obtaining the permission of the Soviet authorities.  His reports were sent back to The Manchester Guardian in British diplomatic bags, thus evading Soviet censorship. The Ukrainian Canadian Research and Documentation Centre interviewed Malcolm Muggeridge in 1982 for its 1984 award-winning  documentary film “Harvest of Despair”.
