Whenever I read about the NYT I am reminded of Pulitzer Prize winner Walter Duranty informing the US State Department that all of his correspondence were cleared by Stalin in accordance with an agreement with the Soviet Union. Kliefoth Memo: https://www.garethjones.org/Embassy-1.pdf. He was one of the reasons Americans knew nothing of the Holodomor.
I don’t know if it is he or some other NYT correspondent who’s buried in the Kremlin Wall in Moscow.
