“The final thing that we will focus on here a little bit is what is going on in Ukraine. I still feel that for whatever reason, and I have talked about it here, we have not done enough to discuss the Holodomor. The Holodomor was the starvation of 4 million Ukrainians in the early 1930s by the Communist government. At the time, it was underreported in the United States because at that time, for reasons unknown to me--I wasn't around at the time, it is a mystery to me today--The New York Times is perceived to be the paper of record. And The New York Times, a guy by the name of Walter Duranty decided not to talk about the starvation. He decided to keep it secret. Probably because at the time the intellectuals, the type of people who work at the big newspapers, liked to look upon the left favorably, and because it was Communists who were starving people, it is not something they like to talk about. I do not know how you can intelligently talk about the relationships between Ukraine and Russia without talking about the 4 million--and that is the lowest, by the way, other people talk about 15 million-- without talking about the 4 million Ukrainians who were starved to death by the Communist, Marxist government that ran the Soviet Union at that time. I would again ask that our press run special features on the starvation that took place 90 years ago.…”
