August 1st 2020 Gareth's extensive travels in the Far East have attracted less attention than his commentaries on the holodomor but there is considerable interest in the release of Mr Jones. The Japanese version of The Big Issue will be publishing an interview with James Norton, star of the film, in their August issue.

January 26th 2020 Mr. Jones, the film starring James Norton, is going on general release in the UK on February 7th 2020, telling the story of Gareth's reporting of the Holodomor. It goes without saying that it tells only a small part of Gareth's life.

To coincide with the launch of Mr. Jones we are issuing a second revised edition of More than a Grain of Truth, the definitive biography of Gareth, originally published back in 2005 but long since out of print. Nigel had hoped to prepare a revised edition, but since his death, the task has fallen to his partner Naomi Field. The e-book is available on Amazon and a 'Print on Demand' version will be available very shortly.

Gareth's famine reports were briefly noted in a 1/2 hour UK Parliamentary debate at Westminster Hal by Pauline Latham MP in calling for the British Government to recognise the Holodomor as a genocide. In reply (and with some sophistry) David Lidington MP, Minister for Europe argued on behalf of HMG; 'Genocide has a defined status in international law, following the 1948 UN genocide convention. The holodomor predates the establishment of the concept of genocide in international law and the convention was not drafted to apply retrospectively.'

At 9pm on Thursday, 5th July, BBC4's Storyville series will be premiering their 80-minute documentary entitled; 'Hitler, Stalin and Mr Jones' :

"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 small town 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."

This presentation details the chronology; from the chance discovery of the Gareth Jones' famine diaries in a small suitcase in Barry, South Wales (having laid unseen for almost 50 years), through to their first transcription in 2006 in Illinois, their 'treatment' within Sergiy Bukovsky's 2008 film; 'The Living' and then the worldwide publicity generated thereafter. The presentation also indicates how the recent international recognition of both Gareth and the Holodomor are seemingly inextricably entwined...

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."

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...

CLICK HERE to listen to the BBC World Service's radio programme by John Sweeny entitled; 'Useful Idiots'

The phrase 'useful idiots', supposedly Lenin's, refers to Westerners duped into saying good things about bad regimes. 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.

Newly discovered conference report of the twelfth annual meeting of the Institute of World Affairs in California, where Gareth delivered a controversial key note speech on the 15th December 1934. Here, he blamed the 5-Year plan of Collectivisation as 'a harbinger of famine' and that the 'exile of five million Kulaks was one of the most brutal crimes in European history.' 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'?

February 17th 2007

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 for the first page a complete transcription and relating photos of the whole of the British Public 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.

 14th November 2005

 Recently discovered documents at the Public Records Office show that Dr Herbert Mueller, who was kidnapped with Gareth from a vehicle belonging to the NKVD, was a known communist and the Chinese representative of the Soviet Third International. Indeed the British MI5 had a operational file open on him from 1917 to 1951 - but unfortunately never passed on their suspicions to the Foreign Office in their 500 page investigation into Gareth's murder. For a work in progress page of my initial findings please CLICK HERE for PowerPoint presentation.

 25th August 2005

 Professor Federigo Argentieri of Cabot University, Rome and coinciding with Gareth's 100th anniversary of his birth, wrote an Italian article in "Corriere della Sera",entitled "Jones, inviato speciale nel genocidio ucraino Raccontò il massacro di un popolo, Stalin lo fece uccidere" [Jones, special correspondent into the Ukrainian genocide, told of the slaughtering of people; Stalin had him killed] in which he firmly points his murder at the hands of the Stalin regime.

Gareth's three extremely vitriolic articles against the Stalinist regime, which were personally commissioned by William Randolph Hearst and published in January 1935. CLICK HERE for first article. In the second article, Gareth uses the phrase 'man-made famine  to describe the Holodomor - CLICK HERE.  In the last article, Gareth insightfully wonders if  Kirov's recent murder was due 'plots within the Communist party' resulting in a new reign of Stalinist terror. CLICK HERE for third article. After having read these articles, you might well consider if they didn't have a direct bearing upon Gareth's mysterious murder exactly seven months afterwards?  With thanks to all at Ukraine Weekly, but especially  Irene Jarosewich, editor-in-chief of Svoboda, for bringing these amazing and previously unknown articles to our attention.

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.
