"Storyville: an investigation into who killed Welsh journalist Gareth Jones. Jones's greatest scoop was to reveal the starvation to death of millions in 1930s Ukraine, caused by Stalin's policies. A portrait emerges of a fiercely bright young man who preferred a journalist's life of courage and danger which took him from smalltown Wales to even hitching a lift in Hitler's private jet. However, in a 1930s world of competing ideologies, there existed a fine line between journalism and spying. This film explores to what extent this dual role, and taking on Stalin, may have contributed to his early death on the plains of Mongolia."

But They Are Only Russians - BBC Radio 4 - 11.am "Truth-tellers and cover-up artists: John Sweeney takes a classic example from Stalin's great famine of the 1930s which killed up to 10 million peasants, with a famous and feted journalist Walter Duranty reporting in the New York Times that there was no famine and very few deaths, and ridiculing another journalist, Gareth Jones (once David Lloyd George's private secretary), who had defied a state ban to go and see the suffering for himself, and reported the horrible truth. Duranty later won a Pulitzer; Jones was killed in China in mysterious circumstances."

| October 2nd 2010 | Gareth was cited by The Guardian in their review of Roy Hattersley's new book on Lloyd George, "The Great Outsider", in which journalist, Miranda Seymour stated: ".... To take another example: did Hattersley think that the papers and published articles of Gareth Jones, private secretary and speech-writer to Lloyd George during two significant years (1930-1932), were utterly insignificant? Jones (murdered in Mongolia in 1935) doesn't even rate a mention." CLICK HERE for the full article. |

In asking a (general knowledge), 'Starter Question' on the now, almost 50-year old, British TV institution; University Challenge, arguably the UK's most-esteemed, political journalist (and in the video here above, as part-time question master), Jeremy Paxman recognises both the Holodomor and also Gareth's forgotten role in exposing it. So, perhaps in the eyes of the BBC, both the Holodomor and Gareth have now both seemingly gone from, 'airbrushed' obscurity to mainstream academically historical' fact'! A shame though, that the show's contestants were so ill-informed on the subject of the Holodomor, but nevertheless, following the programme's first broadcast, that night, this website had over 20,000 additional visitors...

In political jargon it was used to describe Soviet sympathisers in Western countries and the attitude of the Soviet government towards them. Useful idiots, in a broader sense, refers to Western journalists, travellers and intellectuals who gave their blessing – often with evangelistic fervour – to tyrannies and tyrants, thereby convincing politicians and public that utopias rather than Belsens thrived. |

His damning remarks of the Bolsheviks would certainly have been unfavourably noted by Moscow and one moth later his three very vitriolic, anti-Soviet US syndicated articles for Randolph Hearst may well have been reason enough for him to effectively 'silenced'?

Recollections of Gareth Jones - Following a Canadian radio interview
about Gareth, a relative of a listener who knew Gareth, when she was a teenage
girl contacted Gareth's family with her recollections . This correspondence has
been combined with letters of Gareth's to a Welsh hill-top farming family, who
after offering him the hospitality of a bed for the night became warm friends.
Together this correspondence helps show the moral character of Gareth and
perhaps why he dared to expose the Holodomor in an article written by Nigel
Colley. Click Here to visit the web page with the article or Click Here for a printable Adobe acrobat page of the article |

Records Office's recently released MI5/MI6 case files detailing the
NKVD (Soviet Secret Police) links with Wostwag & specifically their General
Manager Adam Purpiss. [N.B. Adam Purpiss, 'kindly' provided Gareth and his German journalist colleague, Dr. Herbert Mueller (who invited Gareth on his fateful last journey), with the free transport, from which they were both kidnapped - Mueller was released unharmed after two days and Gareth never returned... Evidence HERE documents MI6's 34-year open case file on Mueller regarding their evidence that he too was also a Soviet agent.] These documents are put online for academic purposes to publicise the fact that Wostwag were a little known, but very important wing of the Soviet NKVD. These papers show amongst other things that Wostwag, were the de facto bankers and arms dealers to the Chinese Communist party as well as that the British secret services knew of Wostwag's Soviet links prior to Gareth's murder. This information was never passed on to their Foreign Office colleagues and in hindsight severely hindered the subsequent investigation into Gareth's murder by 'bandits' in Inner Mongolia. |

BOOK REVIEW BY ROMAN REVKNIV (Ukrainian Archives and News)
'Gareth Jones A Manchukuo Incident' is a magnificent book. It reads so easily. In the first half we read Jones' own writings, and in the second we try to solve the mystery of his murder. Author Margaret Colley has made a very positive first effort to piece it all together. So skillfuly, in fact, that when you start reading you simply cannot help but recall certain fictitious scenes from an Indiana Jones adventure movie. You are lured by the seductiveness of the Orient, then empowered with historic facts as presented in TV documentaries. You meet the people that Jones met and as you share this open viewing of his letters, diaries and photographs you grow closer to him. This is indeed a very fine and delicate collection of short accounts written by an intelligent man but equally well supported and sorted in the aftermath by his intelligent, hardworking and dedicated niece - Margaret Siriol Colley. |
