Gareth Jones (journalist)
Gareth Richard Vaughan Jones (1905 – August 12, 1935), was a Welsh journalist who first publicised the existence of the Great Ukrainian Famine of 1932-33 in the west. His mother had spent the period 1889-1892 as tutor to the children of Arthur Hughes, the son of Welsh steel industrialist John Hughes who had founded the town of Yuzovka, modern day Donetsk, in the Ukraine, and her stories inspired in Jones a desire to visit the Soviet Union, and particularly the Ukraine.
