The Holodomor Lobby

Life and Afterlife of Gareth Jones feat. Philip Colley (Part 2)

Gareth Jones’ Literary Executor Philip Colley discusses the use and misuse of his great-uncle’s testimony about the early 1930s Soviet famine. Part one covered the remarkable life of the “real Mr. Jones,” including his dealings with the Nazis, and part two addresses his remarkable “afterlife,” which took off in the early 21st century with the rise of the “Holodomor lobby.” As Philip has said, the famous journalist Gareth Jones (1905-35) was “kidnapped in life by bandits, and kidnapped in death by Banderites.”
