The NYT suppressed that, did they not?
In the interests of propagating marxism, of course.
Because, journalists are smarter.
(Than just about nobody.)
The NYT didn’t merely suppress or not report the famine story, they put out a series of propaganda stories “debunking” it as myth, written by their long-time Moscow bureau chief Walter Duranty. Soviet handlers toured Duranty around Ukraine, and just by luck he was shown Potemkin villages of well-fed peasants, played by communist police, during the height of the famine. He was an easy sell, and reported that all those famine stories were just capitalist propaganda. To the best of my knowledge, the NYT did not admit fault until many decades later, and Duranty never apologized for being 100% wrong. Things never change.
