Home > Walter Duranty

Walter Duranty was an American journalist. He won a Pulitzer Prize in 1932 for a set of stories he wrote in 1931 as The New York Times' Moscow correspondent, covering Joseph Stalin's Five-Year Plan to industrialize the Soviet Union. Duranty, who died in 1957, enjoyed a lavish lifestyle during his 12 years in Moscow. He is the subject of a 1990 biography called "Stalin's Apologist”.

The New York Times hired a professor of Russian history to review Duranty's work. That professor was Mark Von Hagen of Columbia University.

In his New York Times articles, Duranty repeatedly denied the Nazi reports of the 1932 Ukrainian famine that the Nazis claimed killed between five million and 10 million Ukrainians. Because of this, several conservative organizations have called on the Pulitzer Board to revoke his prize, but no action has been taken.
