    Between 1932 and 1933, the Soviet Union deliberately starved to death somewhere between 7 and 10 million people, mostly Ukrainians, in an act of genocide known as the Holodomor. But almost no one outside of the Soviet Union knew about this holocaust for decades. The film “Mr. Jones” directed by Agnieszka Holland and starring James Norton and Peter Sarsgaard shows us why.
    The film is based on the true story of freelance Welsh reporter Gareth Jones. In the midst of the Great Depression and the global economic turmoil that came with it, Jones is concerned about the situation in Germany where Hitler has just risen to power. He’s convinced that the Nazis are a threat to the rest of Europe. But given the economic realities of the times, there’s no way Britain could afford another war. The only solution Jones sees to the imminent threat of Hitler and the Nazis is an alliance with Stalin and the Soviet Union who are, according to all the news reports, not simply weathering the crisis, but actually flourishing.
    Jones arranges a trip to Moscow with the intention of interviewing Stalin and assessing the Soviets’ ability to hold off a hostile Germany, but when he gets there, he discovers a new mystery. Things aren’t quite right in Moscow. Surveillance, dodging questions, travel restrictions, questionable arrests, suspicious deaths. And hushed whispers by foreign reporters of “something big” happening in Ukraine.
    Jones manages to get some unsupervised time in Ukraine-an area that was supposed to be the Black Earth Region, the breadbasket of Europe-and finds horrific conditions. The people there are starving. The grain they’re forced to grow on the newly-collectivized farms is confiscated, along with everything else edible. The people are resorting to eating tree bark and even cannibalism.
    This is what the reporters in Moscow were whispering about. This is what New York Times Bureau Chief (and Pulitzer Prize winner) Walter Duranty attempted to distract him from in Moscow. And when Jones finally makes it back home and begins to speak and write about what he saw in Ukraine, it’s what Duranty and the rest of the foreign press corps in Moscow promptly discredit through The New York Times and their home newspapers despite knowing that Jones is telling the truth.
    The Communist Party, led by Stalin, managed to cover up millions of deaths -- a true holocaust -- through a combination of censorship, intimidation, and the willful complicity of people like Walter Duranty and The New York Times. Although the press largely ignored the Holodomor nearly a century ago, Mr. Jones offers serious lessons that force us to reflect on the state of journalism in 2020.

    Thank you for covering this. I am a Ukrainian and I heard some "stories" about that time from older folks. The death is not the biggest tragedy, but rather what hunger does to people. In "what" it turns them. You wouldn't imagine how far some would go in order to survive or to save a loved one.

      I am descended from Germans that started a colony called Kautz (Werschinka), near Saratov, that started during the reign of Catherine the Great in 1766. When things were getting bad, some of my family escaped back to Germany in 1904. My part of the family then sailed to USA. Some died during the starvation period in the late 1930's in the Soviet Union. The Soviets gave them a choice to continue farming their private land, or work on a collective. They chose their private land and were punished by authorities by forfeiting their possessions and and were sent to Siberia. In 1961-1964 the Russian Army destroyed the village of Kautz and other similar villages. At about the same time many Germans were returning from Siberia. It is hypothesized it was done to discourage Germans returning to the area. Before the communists took over Russia, Kautz was a self-sufficient village. Currently, most of my relatives live in US, Germany, and Siberia, Russia.

When he was older his biggest rule was that the children always eat first, something he learned from his grandparents who had starved because they had given all their food to the children.
      I think the only reason he survived was because his family had connections to a family of jews who knew how to gather for mushrooms and to prepare them.
      It's also really interesting how this still lingers in our family, even though it's so long ago. My mother always has to have a lot of extra reserves of food or she will get anxious.

    I have relatives who were killed by this genocide. It's scary, but most of my friends have such relatives as well. It was also not the only artificial starvation and definitely not the only try to murder us and eradicate our nation and identity.
    In perspective, its impossible to think about it without tears. My grand-grandfathers/mothers lived through and survived Holodomor (and other war crimes), my grandfathers and grandmothers survived repressions, force relocation to syberia, died rebelling, my parents survived russification, persecution for preserving and sharing Ukrainian culture, survived poverty. Now it's my turn. And I survive war.

      You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the "Russian Revolution." It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators."

    Excellent summary and review of the film. The thing that I most loved about this film is the use of Orwell as an allegory for those intelligent enough to see what Stalin and communism were all about. OF course, Mr Jones sees it BRUTALLY with his own eyes, and Orwell saw it firsthand in the Spanish Civil War. AND BOTH WEREN'T BELIEVED or had active disinformation campaigns against what they saw. And both have been massively vindicated by history.
    As Orwell wrote (and as relevant as ever):
    "This kind of thing is frightening to me, because it often gives me the feeling that the very concept of objective reality is fading out of the world. After all, the chances are that those lies, or at any rate similar lies, will pass into history....The implied objective of this line of thought is a nightmare world in which the Leader, or some ruling clique, controls not only the future but the past, if the Leader says of such-and-such an event , "It never happened" - well, it never happened. And if he says that two and two are five - well, two and two are five."
    And therein you see the looming shadow of why he had to write "1984"......

      I agree, but the right don't even want Wales to exist seperate from England, culturally or politically. So which is worse?! I'd take a little corruption and Wales existing well into the future, than being absorbed into England, with all its culture and history being passed of as English. The Mabinogi has already been used for the basis of Lord of the Rings. King Arthur as an English kings, so on and so on.

    In school, we did all this stuff about the holocaust and how bad Hitler was. While I agree with it obviously, I'm disappointed. We never really talked about holodomor. At best, all that was talk about concerning it was that there was a famine in Ukraine at the time. In high school, we did have a chapter about Stalin's rule, but it just went over the general, like totalitarianism and stuff. Didn't really talk much about holodomor.

    • @troybaxter
      @troybaxter Рік тому

      There are other tragedies we are very rarely if ever talked about. Holodomor, the Armenian/Greek Genocide, the Cambodian Killing Fields, etc. It's easier to pin the blame on the Germans and the Americans (in the case of the Trail of Tears) than it is to pin any blame on these communist "utopias".
      The longer I live and the more I see the media react to tragedies being exposed while they suppress it (all these genocides plus downplaying the child sex trade), the more I realize just how evil and corrupt the world is.
      I, for one, can never believe in the lie that we can make Heaven on Earth. Not while there are demons and devils running around openly.

    • @atmosrex7126
      @atmosrex7126 4 роки тому +26

      I'm a capitalist. Any time Capitalism kills, it's due to the same reason Communism spreads: Internationalism
      All the countries where capitalism is killing is the same ones where the country's leader doesn't love his country, doesn't seek the greater prosperity of his country, and will just seek short term wealth sucking off of richer countries than loving his own country and national identity or longing it to be independent and strong on its own. This short term thinking is anathema to the very reason capitalism is so effective and liberating as explained by the Austrian School. Free markets and private property are mandatory, foremost, but equally is loving your nation and seeking what is best for it is just as important.
      Which is why countries shouldn't be shelling out for a fascistic country like China for example. Should some extra profit really outweigh the soul and pride of your nation which will grant you wealth both monetary and spiritual?

      That is demonstrably false. Communism and Marxist thought have killed more people than the Black Death and the Third Reich combined. Capitalism can never kill as many people as communism, because capitalism is about keeping the power in the hands of the individual. Is it even necessary to say that an individual can't kill as many people as a government? I guess maybe you could chalk up something like the Johnson County Range Wars as "capitalist killing", but when you measure that against something like what the video is talking about, it pales by comparison.

    Vyacheslav Chornovil.
    My school is named after him, and i have since moved on to university. Why does he matter, why name school after him?
    He is a journalist. While under stalin Ukraine suffered literal genocide, the time has passed. It was not forgotten nor forgiven, but regime keeps itself above by denying you escape. It tries to tell you all is well, that you prosper - and tell the world you prosper. But that is silly with naught to back it up
    .
    The Berlin wall has long fallen. But ussr could not affrd accepting it's defeat. So it deflagrated, and among the many things that happened we would break away (And so would Chechnya). Salvation story? Not at all.
    .
    Vyacheslav Chornovil was a journalist at that lovely time of early independence. Of exposing the truth of what passed and what is. But people are merely human. Socium is highly personal, it's far more about the families and connection than we want to admit. When one proposes to overthrow the governments they forget how much is tied to names, connections and families.
    .
    His expose would be unbearable, and even calamitous for those that wish to conserve what they have. Even if earned by others' blood. Even if they need to do so again. On a trip to Kyiv, an ambush was set for him - KamAz truck with a suicide driver. The paperwork would be oh so conveniently never to be found relating truck and man, of which little remained to tell the tale.
    .
    Naming school after him was a PR trick, to a degree. But done by conscientious people. I was in luck to be taught by one of them, my english teacher in fact - so i learned English, a language in which i have more access to wider gamut of press. So i learned of the perils of journalism... And how important it is to know.
    .
    I was born in 1999. Same year as First Chechen war... A bloody conflict in which our troops mustered a volunteer force... A conflict that made many journalists enemy of russian throne for telling about the horrors that are burned bodies of men, women and children on blasted into ruin streets. For what? For wanting independence in their little corner of the world
    .
    Wikipedia's article on first and second chechen wars is by no means a complete picture, nor can you believe it unbiased. But they convey the jist of it, russia exists by beating cultures and nations into submission. Even as we speak. In 2019 a peaceful protest to have a pointless choice of picking something akin to moscow town mayor (Which has far less of a role on governing and managing finance, mind you) lead to people being abducted into buses and driven away, physically beaten for wanting the choiice not issued by government
    .
    My eyes are not blind to current war, a very similar attempt to "reclaim". I'm lucky to be on the other side of the country. I'm lucky my town is this close to Europe, and our government cooperates with it. I'm lucky to have been taught about Vyacheslav Chornovil - that's why i care about politics and journalism. It plays a bit with my natural multi-facet curiosity that made me learn about economics despite being a programmer.
    .
    There's more on topic than i can tell. There's no movie on Vyacheslav Chornovil to speak about these. Andi could go on about what i read from russian (Exclusively state-owned) mass-media. I live in a country with foreign (russian) meme culture influence changing how children, and even grown people think. In a great example of a country that knowing your language and history matters.
    .
    Wiki is by no means exhaustive. But it provides sufficient overview to understand historic context. Finding independent news outlets is far easier in internet. With this comment i don't mourn the many deaths for freedom. With this comment i celebrate that truth is harder than ever to suppres. And express my wish it only continues to proliferate
    .
    There are still many challenges. Not the least of which are political bias, unfair coverage, and indeed, the persevering human networks of ambition. But you can learn about them. You can tell others why it matters to you. You can seek more equitable tomorrow.

    Besides holodomor, the truth about the Red Terror wasn't even known to the public until 1991 when the old soviet documents were released to the public. It revealed that since it's conception in 1917, the Soviet Union has been committing massive genocides on it's own people. The first one came in 1918 when, due to starvation and unemployment caused by the revolution, Lenin ordered several million people to be eliminated or sent to gulags. These genocides went on until 1952. Not many people know that the first communist country was literally running on genocide.

My grand grand grand father was helping one boy, his neighbour, during Holodomor. From time to time my grandfather was giving some food for a boy. But one day he couldn’t find him anymore. When my grandfather entered boy’s house, where he used to live with his mother, grandfather did not find a boy, but boy’s mother was cooking meat. She lose her mind from hunger and eat her son. Imagine, how many stories we still don’t know. Because if you talk about it, you might be killed by government. But my grandfather told his kids this story. That’s how I know it.
    I really hope that USA will recognise Holodomor like genocide of Ukrainians!
